Then let me get rid of the confusing qualifiers:
"Where there's money, there's greed." Although sometimes true, it is not usually so. Most transactions involving money are routine and not a product of greed.
Nor does greed require money to exist. One can have a rapacious desire not only for more money than he needs, but for more food, more power, more sex, more of any commodity, or activity than he needs.
"In a Capitalistic society 'honesty and integrity on both sides of the coin' will never exist." Not true. Honesty and integrity often do exist on "both sides of the coin" (between buyer and seller) in a capitalistic society. It is probably more important for the survival of privately owned businesses to maintain degrees of honesty and integrity than it is for State owned entities that can dictate and enforce obediance and for whom integrity may be irrelevant.
Insofar as money can drive greed, it does so in all modern societies, not just capitalistic ones.
Greed existed before money existed. Greed existed before Capitalism.
Your comment is not as simple as you think. And it is full of nonsense.
