        The capitalist system promotes greed to an extreme extent.

        People aren’t greedy by nature. It’s the circumstances that are the problem.

          How do you know people are not greedy by nature? Wasn’t it people who invented capitalism?

            Elites invented capitalism. Those who already controlled most resources.

            Greed develops if individuals and groups get the possibility to capture way too many resources without any limits or consequences.
