In The Greed Machine: Why It's Never Enough, Boris Kriger takes readers on a sharp, witty, and deeply unsettling journey into the heart of human acquisitiveness. Drawing on neuroscience, evolutionary biology, philosophy, and economics, Kriger exposes the ancient machinery that drives us to hoard, compete, and consume-long after our survival depends on it. From the dopamine circuits that hijack our brains to the manufactured myths of scarcity that keep entire populations anxious and obedient, this book dismantles the architecture of greed with the irreverence of Kurt Vonnegut and the curiosity of a born philosopher.
Part philosophical provocation, part survival guide for a consumer civilization on the brink, this book asks the one question most of us are too busy shopping to consider: what if enough were actually enough?
Keywords: greed, consumer culture, behavioral economics, evolutionary psychology, resource distribution, circular economy, existential philosophy
