Another good eample of a craving for profit that has nothing to do with efficiency hits close to home for me: the housing bubble. Fools across the spectrum thought they were going to cement their financial future in the 'wealthy' category by building houses like there was no tomorrow, often using cheap illegal labor. Now there's a glut on the market and gentlepersons like me are semi-adrift, hunting for a way to pay the bills.
