Greed and selfishness are problematic when our acquisition of property is of the extent that if affects the lives of others. If we own a great deal of property this limits the ability of other people to own a sufficiency of their own property. When we own so much as this, then we are having a malevolent impact on our surroundings. The remedy to this is to restrict property ownership (and the means of production) so that no person is able to own too much, where 'too much' is defined according to the Lockean Proviso.
Greed and selfishness can be addressed with restrictions placed on the legitimate and legal ownership of property.
