Sometimes I think that this attitude will cause the western world to become a second tier world. How can you build a sustainable world where this level of greed is accepted and even lobbied into political levels.

A pharmaceutical company can capitalize on current successes and have enough to hire 1,000 research scientists for future developments.

Or they could take "just enough", hire 10 research scientists, and potentially not make the next breakthrough. Or the company just dies.
