I don't think people are greedy, but instead, afraid-of-not-having. And I also think that today we can actually produce enough of many things, to end scarcity on a growing number of things. This will be more evident with ultra efficient automated manufacture and no salaries

People without capitalism were and are starving. Talk about "afraid of not having". Capitalism already accounts for the relative scarcity of things. That's why running water, formerly a luxury, is cheap, but spots on a zero-gravity flight, a new luxury, aren't.
