I think you're missing some very obvious greed in your life. People design things to make money rather than to be good or useful because of greed. If we sought to make the world a better place instead of make the most money, we'd set aside the money and design things to be good and useful. Of course, some people do that, but those people don't succed in making lots of money, so we don't hear about them unless we actively seek that information out. I suspect that the reason you don't see the greed that motivates so much of human action around you is that you, like me, are greedy. Time after time I've chosen jobs that made me money rather than improving the world. It's hard for me to look at greed in others without seeing the greed in myself. But if you really want the market relegated to a secondary role, then you want a way to defeat greed, so that people stop letting greed for the most money dictate their actions.
