"But greedy insanity is often the way to power and influence!"

Yes, Bill! ;-D And that is a key problem with how our society is set up, isn't it? Furthermore, our society is set up to conceal what's really going on with most of the money most of the time. For instance, people don't know what a corporation really paid for the stuff they buy at the store, do they? If they did, there'd probably be one hell of a reaction! And they don't know how much the bosses are earning and how much of it goes offshore into tax havens, do they? Again...if they knew, there'd be hell to pay. And they don't know the real cost of the wars their government is fighting. And they don't know about the payoffs, graft, and favours that are given between government and business. And they don't understand the true nature of the Federal Reserve. Etc.

Things are set up in order to conceal most of what's going on with money, because "what the people don't know won't hurt them". Well, it does hurt them. And very badly.

That's a much more important problem than overpopulation OR organized religion (which is both good and bad...depending on which part of it you choose to focus on).
