    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 eill hide behind those virtues. And when you then fight against that greed, then you are accused of attacking those virtues instead.
