If "following market price signals to decide what to produce and sell" is greed, then EVERYTHING is greed.
You make clothes on Etsy, and suddenly people will pay more for silver clothes because Beyonce tells her fans to wear silver. So you make more silver clothes, and sell them for more money to more happy buyers… greedy you!
You have a shelf full of books. One of them is signed by a famous author. It's cool to have it as a conversation piece. That author dies, and suddenly the book is worth enough to pay for some needed home repairs. So you sell it… greedy you!
