Greed cannot account for all of it. Ignorance, for example, comes to mind instantly.

Going with what they're saying, ignorance wouldn't be fostered and exploited if it wasn't for greed.
Ignorance of what though? How airfoils work? Or how to speak french? Ignorance of how acting on your urge to be greedy results in suffering? Sure. But I think the greed is still the thing causing the bad here.
Well and unscrupulous foreign actors exacerbating a situation for their own ends.
Well I would call that greed. I do think a short list of factors is possible, and greed often preys on ignorance.
