      So why not have a system specifically designed to mitigate greed in lieu of one that incentivizes it?

        Because with capitalism, the greed is out in the open. Everyone understands it. It is clear and legal to push against the greed of those who have more.

        In a system that incentivizes “virtues”, greed will hide behind those virtues. And when you then fight against that greed, you are accused of attacking those virtues instead.

      Sounds like the system shouldn’t be sufficiently large then. Decentralized networks are all the rage these days.
