Greed and Capitalism

What kind of society isn't structured on greed? The problem of social organization is how to set up an arrangement under which greed will do the least harm; capitalism is that kind of a system.

Does Ben Graham's investment method every actually work outside of economic depressions? Vs Phil Fisher's/Charlie Munger's?

Graham's methods evolved. What he practiced while running Graham-Newman in 30s & 40s was very different from what he did in 70s.


Except Graham's approach is specifically engineered for downside protection, not upside potential. Exact opposite of venture!
 
A very good sign of greed is impatience.
 
Charlie's is based more on Phil Fisher. High quality company at good price, vs disaster company at low price.
 
Graham's view only works if prices are low enough. I'm wondering if that ever actually happens outside depressions.
