So yea, i think greed is good.
Could you give any examples of people providing help through greed?

I read James' article but I didn't see anything about greed. Competition, innovation, capitalism, interest in money, responsibility, enlightened self-interest, but no greed. I think it illustrates the lack of clarity in what greed actually is.
