I agree to bea
A great Rabbi once said that every trait, every midah, can be used for the good or for the bad. i think this rule applies to greed as well. a person can use greed as a motivator to accomplish or as a motivator to destroy.

Greed is never good, but is moves economy forward
The contrast between greed and reasonable interest is the excessive or unsatiable magnitude of the former... However, according to Adam Smith "Wealth of Nations", it is the greed of business and men that drives the advancement of nation's economy...

There is no good or bad, just the way it's used
There was nothing in the world created for no reason or purely as bad. Every "bad" character trait can be used for the good; greed can be used to push a person to greater acheivements, as one person mentioned. A person who has no greed or desire for money has no desire to work to obtain it, and society/economy collapses. That's the basis of a proper, capitalistic economy (and capitalism works much better than communism for that reason).
