When my students and I were developing a questionnaire of monetary accentuations, cluster analysis showed that the “greed” parameter is split into 2 components. A comparison of the questionnaire items led me to the idea that there are 2 types of greed. Type 1 greed: a person does not want to give something away, for example, money, but strives with all his might to save it. These people are called stingy, miserly people. Z. Freud described exactly this type when he connected the anal stage of development and the formation of the control function. Greed of the 2nd type: a person wants to get as much as possible, he has not enough. These are called insatiable, greedy. In greed No. 1, the function of control and preservation of property is hypertrophied. When parting with a thing or money, a person experiences this act as the loss of a part of himself. It is possible that in this case one identifies oneself with a thing or money. In the case of greed No. 2, we are faced with an exaggerated need to receive, greed, an insatiable thirst to have. In fact, these are two sides of the movement of things and energy: greed No. 2 enhances the “input” , and greed number 1 is "exit". Thus, a person accumulates more and more. In Wikipedia we find the following definition of greed, essentially describing its type No. 2: Greed, greed, acquisitiveness, hoarding, love of money, greed, stinginess (Greek φιλαργυρία, Lat. avaritia) - an immoderate inclination to obtain material wealth. “Avarice is an immoderate desire and love for wealth” (Avaritia est immoderata divitiarum cupiditas et amor (see Spinoza “Ethics”) Greed in Orthodox ethics is one of the 8 sinful passions (in Catholicism it is one of 7 deadly sins), since it leads to an increase in worries and worries, to internal anger and isolation, and also constantly provokes fear of loss and anger at possible competitors and envious people. Greed (covetousness) is associated with it, which is condemned by all peoples. the motive of the crime or the cause of the tragedy. According to John Climacus, greed is opposed by the sin of despondency and the virtue of non-covetousness. Somatically, greed is experienced as a loss of control of the movement of the chest, stiffness, difficulty breathing: “a toad is strangling.” Excessive fatness can be a consequence of both the first and the second. types of greed, but the mechanisms of action are different. Constipation is rather a prerogative of greed № 1.
