Well, I think self-interest is important, but only when it's enterained in a collective framework--and that does not require bureaucratic measures.
Perhaps benificial technologies have resulted in self-interest, but I don't think it's fare to assume that self-interest (in the form of profit-motive, which I assume you are referring to) is the only factor pushing technological envelopes.
Self-interest, in the respect you are referring to, has resulted in the creation and marketing of a ton of artificial needs.
