The Madness of Materialism
Acquisitiveness is when somebody excessively wants money. Steve Taylor,
the author of The Madness of Materialism, said that acquisitiveness is natural to
human beings. Back in the early 1800s, a man named James Marshall found a piece
of glowing metal on the floor, which was actually gold. Once rumors went around
about the discovery, thousands of people flocked the area because they had gold
fever.
