This book is a translation of one of the wittiest pieces of medieval Arabic prose. In the opinion of most Arab literary critics, Abu ´Uthman al-Jahiz is one of the finest writers in Arabic of all time, described as "the sultan of style" and the very symbol of literary ability. He was a native of the city of Basra in southern Iraq, then the commercial and intellectual center of the recently established Abbasid caliphate and the crucible where Islamic culture crystallized and assumed its form. Jahiz is characterized by wit, satire, irony, and a wide-ranging erudition pinned to sharp observation of character. His language is agile and vigorous, lucid and precise. It is formally literary but inspired by the rhythms of ordinary speech. Digression and anecdote are commonplace as he passes seamlessly from the serious to the entertaining (and back again) for the pleasure of his readers..

This book defines the Avaricious Personality and explores in detail how it spreads a greedy and antisocial vision of life from personal relationships to our society at large. Particular emphasis is given to how the avaricious have transformed the freedom of speech into the freedom to lie and how this has damaged all of our essential social institutions. Strategies are offered to reverse this very dangerous trend. This book is neither academic nor scientific and there are no footnotes or bibliography. It is a book of opinion, observation and theory based upon my many years of practicing as a psychiatrist with a particular interest in human character. My positions are stated vigorously, clearly and succintly as I am convinced that the spread of this disease of greed presents an overwhelming threat to our future..
