Greed isn't the product. Greed is an inherent human characteristic (we'd all like a bigger house, more luxurious holidays, nicer car etc). The genius of Capitalism is that it channels greed to foster innovation, resulting in better and/or cheaper products, raising living standards.
Greed is an inherent evolutionary characteristic (non-greedy species had an unexpected appointment with extinction).
Social species may have charity within the in-group, but are still fundamentally greedy against the out-group.
Collaborative communities can only exist so long as all its members abide by the social agreement, and there's a scaling limit on how far you can maintain a consistent social agreement.
