 =Theme of Greed =

 The Pearl by John Steinbeck The Bonfire of the Vanities by Tom Wolfe A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens Hard times by Charles Dickens  The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald Animal Farm by George Orwell The Merchant of Venice by William Shakespeare King Lear by William Shakespeare The Bad Beginning by Lemony Snicket Silas Marner by George Eliot The partner by John Grisham The winner by David Baldacci Da Vinci code by Dan Brown Salt by Maurice Gee The fat man by Maurice Gee City of beasts by Isabel Allende Brave new world by Aldous Huxley Mortal engines by Philip Reeve. Mobile cities travel over the erstwhile Europe (more or less - this is far in the future) and the slow and small get eaten by the fast and big. Lots of examples of collective and individual greed.
