    One of Seven

    Greed is seen as “the Matriarch” of all the deadly sins, without it Pride, Envy, Sloth, Gluttony, Lust and Anger would have little cause. We explore this sin through the eyes of the major world religions and discuss how it can be overcome. Also, Professor Richard Florida debates creativity as an engine of urban growth with Sam Staley President of the Buckeye Institute and a senior fellow at the Reason Public Policy Institute and co-editor, plus Joe Jackson shares his new song on the anti-smoking ban with us.
