El filibusterismo (The Reign of Greed as the alternative English title) is the second novel written by Philippine national hero Jose Rizal.

It is a sequel to Noli Me Tangere and like the first book, was written in Spanish.

He began the work in October of 1887 while practising medicine in Calamba.

In London (1888), he made several changes to the plot and revised a number of chapters. Rizal continued to work on his manuscript while in Paris, Madrid, and Brussels, finally completing it on March 29, 1891 in Biarritz. It was published the same year in Ghent.

The translation for its Latin name is "the Subservism",as a reference to what the Spanish priests call Rizal's works.
