    Hello IMONSTRIKE2,
    It depends upon your use of the word. It is a mater of degrees. I personally believe there is a line where greed becomes a derogatory term when it is interpreted to mean you desire more than you have earned or are entitled to.
    I prefer self- interest so as to avoid confusion, or giving the wrong impression.
    Either way I always try to see Stossel. His shows are a breath of fresh air!
    Carpe diem!
    O.A.

      Yes, when I hear "Greed is good" I think of the movie 'Wall Street' which of course was an attack on capitalism by a talented, but equally deranged leftist, Oliver Stone. Self-interest is what makes everything work, and to understand it, all one has to do is look at a new born baby. The same self-interest is present in adults, but it gets confused with religious ideas centered on collectivism. So everything gets mashed together falsely.
