Covid proved this generalisation is not a truism.

USofA was probably the only place that actively resisted the global effort.

I think people do want a better world. Greed is not universal. Most countries that grow a middle class find most people prefer to stop work. I.e. there are not that many infinitely greedy humans. And they can be taxed.

Despite neocon economic theory, most people aren't selfish. And those that are, are often happily rewarded with a plaque in their honor or a medal.

Just look at the length Trump goes to for an award.
