Between Greed and Desire

The World between Wall Street and Main Street

Two decades after the fall of the Berlin Wall, the Western world is hit by the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression. Nothing is left of the triumphalism that was so dominant in the West. The crisis will have profound consequences not only when it comes to the value of the assets of individuals and corporations, but also for the balance of global power.

Between Greed and Desire is a selection of columnist Heleen Mees’ work. With her sharp pen she warns of the emergence of authoritarian regimes like China and Russia and the role that excessive executive remuneration plays in the emergence of speculative hot air balloons in financial markets. Mees calls for the European welfare state to be transformed into an opportunity-based society similar to that of New York.
