Personal emotions and fears all aggregate into a societal whole which leads to the economic forces driving our societies.

It's all about making a buck and greed isn't it? or is it? Fair enough there is the need for cash and security and so on but what more basic needs do these things serve?

Is curiosity a part of it or are we all just trying the keep the shagging wolf away from the door?
