"greed" is a very interesting topic. i've been thinking about trying to make a "one thread to rule them all" thread about greed, touching on economics, politics, philosophy, etc. it may be too much for one singular discussion (that may devolve into solely a religious discussion, which, on here, would defeat the purpose)

one hard part is that "greed" is a multi-layered concept. one layer is what you said. another is rationality and irrationality (irrational greed is often how it's presented, especially in movies on the subject)

Greed is one of the most innovative forces for good on the marketplace.

Exactly. Greed can include people who game the welfare system, or the Wall Street fat cats who get the taxpayers to cover their bad bets, or the Sandra Flukes of the world who want to take money from struggling working families to fund their own lifestyle choices.
