I finally started watching Star Trek because I kept seeing “Ferengi” mentioned in this context. I’m only a few episodes into Next Generation but so far the analogy definitely holds up.
Interestingly, in one of the episodes the Ferengi leader prioritizes his own personal gain (in the form
of revenge) over profit and his fellow Ferengi are so disgusted by the behavior that he’s overthrown.
