Enlightened "self interest" is good. It is the engine that drives economic, technological, and social progress.

When "self interest" inspires one to use force or fraud to take from another, then the "self interest" is destructive.

Whether "greed" is good or bad is a matter of terminology. Enlightened self interest is good. Destructive self interest is bad.
