Capitalism is a game where the goal is to get out of the game. With enough money the rules of capitalism no longer apply.
Wanting to be rich is just a search for an exit strategy. Once found, the game ends.

IIRC it was the Babylonians that made a reset on all debt each time a new king came to power. Debt was simply wiped out and everyone restarted on a more level playing field.
Our form of capitalism could do well with such an instrument.
Have to say, we humans are very creative when it comes to greed!
