This is the miracle of capitalism and markets; we harness the greed of people and groups of people for the forward movement of society.

I wouldn't say it always propels society forward. It pushes and pulls and eventually some forward momentum grows but the forward movement comes much more from basic research and eventual applications of it. Most basic research wouldn't survive with pure market capitalism at all.
