Money Suit Experiment: greed or need?
What would you do if someone wore a suit pinned with money and a note saying, 'take what you need?'
This social experiment by Coby Persin takes a deeper look at how greedy people with comfortable lives can be as opposed to the poor.
Persin is known for doing human behavior videos. In the "Money Suit Experiment," he walks around New York City with a suit covered in money and a sign stating, "Take What You Need."
The goal here is to see if people will actually take the money that they need.
Unfortunately, the results of the video are disheartening.
