A blogger on MyT complained about the threatened strike in France on Tuesday, which he sees as resulting from pure greed on the part of the strikers. I sympathise with his being personally inconvenienced, he is resident in France, but found his pejorative use of ‘greed’ quaint in an age when its use is taken by many to be complimentary. He has not heard perhaps, that ‘greed is good’, believed by many, including some bloggers on MyT, to be the only worthwhile motivator. Indeed, to suggest that someone is possibly driven by an alternative, sense of duty for example, can earn derision and accusations of naïvety. In a sense, it is heartening to see that there remains someone who does not admire the predominant trait in our society.
