...it's a matter of semantics. Greed is unbridled, enlightened self interest allows all to get the best they can without destroying the system.
For example, if you and me and snapits was in a senior citizens bar looking for hot chicks and there are a bunch of 7's and 8's but only 1 who is a 9 and we all go after the 9, at least two of us are going to lose out. On the other hand, if we just go with the flow and lower our expectations a bit, we could all score.
