Basically, it only works if you can keep greedy people from expressing their greed. Evidently, not happening right now.

Exactly. That's why simply regulating capitalism won't work. It has been regulated before, and eventually, little by little, greed wins out, politicians take bribes to lower regulations, and this tension raises again until we earn back what we lost. Rinse and repeat. It's not sustainable.
