The idea that capitalists are “greedy” is interesting. I’ve only actually seen cartoon top-hat type greed among crony capitalists. I.e. it’s a feature of “socialism for corporations” economies. The freer the market the more the players are driven by things other than greed.

But isn't this greed - i.e. the accrual of excess resources - just applied to more abstract concepts wealth? Or is your point that "follow the money" won't get you all the way there?

Exactly, and non-crony capitalism distinguishes "capital" from "wealth" -- the former creates/ is reinvested/ *produces* (goods, services, jobs, and yes wealth too) -- this simple distinction was an eye-opening insight for me

would you help me with an example? if i have capital/wealth just sitting in a bank it's still creating more capital
