In Oliver Stone's classic Wall Street, which came out in 1987, there is a monologue that will transcend time, and be forever associated with Wall Street and the ultra-wealthy. “Greed, for lack of a better word, is good.

When revisiting the famous quote by Gordon Gekko, he doesn’t actually say “greed is good.” This phrase has been misquoted. It seems like this misquote has become a simple way for people who believe that the businessmen of the world are evil to summarize the perceptions of capitalism.

One such man played by Michael Douglas makes money buying and selling others' dreams. He is a stock speculator; but one that succeeds based on illegal inside information. As he puts it "I make nothing, I own" Released in 1987, Oliver Stone's Wall Street is a representation of bad morals and poor business ethics in the business world. It also shows the negative effects
The Wolf of Wall Street: The Chase For Money The best things in life, are the things that grab our attention and keep it. The things that stand about because they are real and entertaining as hell.
