Greed Is Good

If A Christmas Carol has taught us anything it’s that being rich and greedy certainly has its merits. How else can one rule over one’s subordinates with an iron fist while being assured visits from voyeuristic, clairvoyant, time traveling specters who wear enough chains to make Mr. T blush? All Ebenezer Scrooge had to do was get insanely rich and crotchety and, voilà: Three different spirits took his hand on Christmas Eve and whisked him away to a peep show of alternate realities.
