I don't think that one can necessarily quote greed in business as an example of a general decline in the moral standards of society. There have been greedy businesses as long as there have been businesses. Look at, for example, Standard Oil in the US in the 1920s, whose behaviour led to the introduction of the US's "anti-trust" laws.
