See? See? There you go again. . Vague answer which could mean anything and hence means nothing. Unless you explain and define what exactly you mean by "enlightened self interest" I don't know whether to agree, disagree with it or how to comment it in any way.[/QUOTE]Greed means "give anything and everything to me right now"

Enlightened self interest means "I'll get plenty of what I want if I give everybody what they want". Happy customers mean good long term revenue, although it is more expensive and difficult to achieve - but truly smart, and ethical, businessmen recognize how much better it is to do business this way.

Businessmen that are simply greedy don't care about their customer base, and do things like milking the business until it dies at the expense of the employees and their customers.

concrete: relating to an actual, specific thing or instance. existing in reality or in real experience; perceptible by the senses; real. representing or applied to an actual substance or thing. Does this adjective fit the phrase you used?

Yes.

edit: spelling
