Even if greed was human nature we still shouldn't shape society to reward it

Yup. I think the ideas that people are wired to selfishness and competition, and/or paradoxically, are solely motivated by material gains and profit, is complete bullshit. I don't think you can tell any reliable story about "human nature", when >80% of social science research comes from neoliberal states and their institutions in the last 40 years...

Anything that varies significantly from society to society is not fundamental human nature.
