this is back to how much choice is involved

some people are naturally good at sniffing out money

in it's most negative form - it can be bad for others around them...
hence the invention of anti-monopoly laws

and yet as a personal attribute it is hard to control - because from a
carrot a stick point of view - the behavior is always "rewarded" -
unless one is in a community that reserves the right of Ostracism

again back to hari's p6 chart

no comment on awareness of individual gain vs community

while Ostracism is a hard sell as a community asset with the present
zeigeist

it was common place in athens

cap vs dem
