It isn't. But in classical economic thought the rational pursuit of self-interest tempered by social responsibility adds to general prosperity by expanding production and exchange.

Greed is an irrational desire to accumulate far more than is needed, often at others' expense and without adding any value to society's aggregate product, and is therefore inconsistent with the goal of the general good.
