As even the lowest common denominator is drawn (sucked!!) into the global economy, it might be interpreted that part of their nature changes.
Wouldn't the far simpler explanation be that greed (or the need for material goods) is a learned behaviour and our current western social structure teaches this behaviour over and above all other behaviours?
