In Praise of Greed: A Satire in Rhyme is a modern English translation of Lof de Geldsucht by the seventeenth-century Dutch poet Jeremias de Decker. In rhymed couplet like the original, In Praise of Greed is a sustained, ingenious voice-portrait of Greed personified.

The poem is both timely and timeless.
