Greed (as opposed to sensible, sustainable profit) is ultimately counter productive over the long term.

Yes. This is a weakness --- which can be exploited. The Japanese auto industry did this very successfully --- on our own turf. Toyota became the world's largest auto manufacturer by building most of their products in the USA --- using American labor.

Right now, those trying to follow in the Japanese footsteps are the Chinese.
