    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.

      People let those other people control resources, could it be because they shared the greed and thought they would benefit more from it by letting that happen?

        Yeah sure , nobody in history resisted occupiers who came to steal their ressources. You think it’s easy to win against powerful people?

        Who would be able to take it away from them? They’ll do everything possible to keep them. Move it, buy politicians, etc.

        could it be because they shared the greed and thought they would benefit more from it by letting that happen?

        You mean trickle down and that bs?

          A sufficient amount of people, it has happened a couple of time in history.

          You mean trickle down and that bs?

          Yes the belief in such thing. If we go back to early society, it could be agreeing to follow a leader because you believe you’ll get more resources from working for his group than by yourself.
