I think you could make the case for all three — greed, jealousy, and envy. They're all interrelated.

Not really, greed can be positive in that one is positively advancing their own self interest and it also benefits other people in the long run. Jealousy can be motivating and result in positive results. Both have been demonized, but can be positive.

Envy on the other hand, is always destructive and deadly!

Semantics, I know, but there was a reason that Envy was called out specifically as a deadly sin....
