Written more than 400 years ago,&amp;nbsp;Volpone&amp;nbsp;uses deception, ambition and dark humour to expose how greed can make people sacrifice their dignity, relationships and even their principles.

It asks us to consider whether people remain honest when money, power and personal gain are at stake. Rishi Nagar reflects on why&amp;nbsp;Volpone&amp;nbsp;continues to resonate today\u2014and the uncomfortable question it leaves behind:&amp;nbsp;If great wealth came at the cost of our values, how much would we be willing to sacrifice?
