In the end, as folks like Michael Milikan showed us, its a mental illness, and they never happy, no matter how much they have stolen. They can own the whole world and that wouldn't be enough.

That's an interesting concept, mental illness. An obsession with accumulation of wealth. Boy, if only that were a registered mental illness and people could be committed for it...

I mean, an obsession with any other thing that could harm others, e.g. setting fire to buildings would be acted upon but it's okay to set fire to the economy?

Holy Hell! I just looked up "what is obsession with wealth called" and top of the results page came this page from Yahoo answers:

What would you call someone who's obsessed with wealth/money?
