About the Author:
From Booklist:
M. Hirsh Goldberg has been press secretary for the governor of Maryland and the mayor of Baltimore, a speech writer for two of Maryland's attorneys general, and author of two previous books. He is executive vice-president and partner of Jordan-Azam, Inc., a Maryland-based public-relations and advertising agency. Mr. Goldberg lectures widely and lives in Baltimore with his wife, Barbara, and family.
Goldberg reveals the quirks and characters of famous misers, gamblers, investors, spendthrifts, spenders, gold diggers, and billionaires while he talks about the reality of greed. He also philosophizes that greed is unrelenting because it's really a search for spiritual fulfillment and cannot be satisfied through the accumulation of material possessions. His anecdotal format results in an entertaining book, while his scary stories of the effect of greed almost make the reader glad not to be rich. Denise Perry Donavin
