The whole point of capitalism is that people are basically going to be greedy no matter what, but if you tell them, "Well, be as greedy as you like, but to get money you have to convince other people to give it to you, and the best way to do that is usually to make something they like," then things work out ok. Of course, we still need regulation to ensure that the best way to make money really is to make something people like, but outside of that there's no reason to blame geed per se. Greed is the engine that drives the machine!

I certainly agree with the philosophy of trying to use greed as a motivation/engine for good.

But I certainly do not think it is moral for unions to be weak.
