No, I don’t see greed as being either positive or negative (Think Yin and Yang), just the consequences of it.

I may have worded it kind of funny, all I meant by this was that “Anti-Greed people think that enlightened self-interest is not a powerful enough motivator for political leaders, CEO’s, etc. to make a difference in the world, and that their own personal negative greed is what drives them”.
(As if this sounds a whole lot better)
