Capitalism is by nature "greed",
Oh for fuck's sake--no it isn't.
An example of "Greed" is the pursuit of an endeavor when the risk outweighs the gain.
Operating on the premise of consumption is not greed--nor is attempting to consume all your able. It's when you're trying to consume more than you have the capacity for that you enter into the territory of "greed". That's why "greed" is identified as a self-destructive characteristic.
I would argue that an example of greed is asking for or accepting subsidies and/or bailout money for your business; you don't actually have the resourcefulness to accrue that sum of money on your own and so you make money appear in your wallet magically when it's fundamentally unsustainable according to your current business model. Thus, you won't be able to pay that money back.
If you wanna talk about "greed", look no further than a mentality of dependency (see also: welfare): a guaranteed accumulation of wealth with only unemployment as a prerequisite.
