greed is not a good thing. it may be the way things work, but certainly not the way things must be. progress is working to eliminate greed and create a new way of distributing wealth.

healthcare is a perfect example. highest paid doctors in the world with most expensive healthcare in the world, with most people unable to obtain access (in modernized nations) and in turn most bankruptcy.
as the greed of those in the health industry goes unchecked it is the rest of us who suffer. this is not ideal.
