Does greed require envy?

I don't think so. Scott Hahn discusses greed, envy, and jealousy in his "Damnation History" set, and it's very interesting.

St. Paul says that greed or covetousness is idolatry, and that "love is not jealous," but envy is considered the worst by the spiritual writers, because it means that you want to destroy the person you envy.

In other words, envy is a social sin.
