Is there a single word describing earning money through any means?
I am using compound word "money-oriented" too much in my essay. I want another word for it. Person who not only thinks about money all the time but also earns money through any means. They are ready to earn money even in the middle of war. They don't think what is right or what is wrong. Only one thing they can think off is making money by any means. They need not to be in bad or good light. In short, they don't have any particular ethics to follow.
I want the word which is quite neutral. It should fit greedy politicians, greedy businessmen, greedy youngster, greedy person etc., but their greed to earn should be of money. One more thing, they are not thieves, or robbers but people who will earn money without thinking something is morally right or morally wrong.
Such ____ people don't have any ethics to earn money.
I will also like to use this word as a title of my essay: "_____ human society". So, little outstanding or catchy word will be helpful.
