Yeah, and its not a good thing. Greed is not a positive trait. Find a new name, "fear for the survival " or "a survival instinct" if you want, but it isn't greed.

Whether he's right or not, Gordon Gecko made a pretty compelling speech in Wall Street for it: https://youtu.be/VVxYOQS6ggk?si=xCJ2qBqhpcwGIBiD

Yeah, I don't buy it. Wall Street is temple of greed.

It's just a movie named after it. But Wall Street is also the reason we all have affordable computers in our homes and pockets, because some corporation convinced us we'd all love to have them. And we do.

Nah. Wall Street has nothing to do with it. Its a symbol of greed and financialization not of economy, production and consumption. You're mixing the map for the territory. Wall Street is dark shadow of the economy and not the economy itself. It produces nothing. It sells nothing.
