While Capitalism might be relatively new in the history of humanity, greed isn't and and in many ways Capitalism can be argued to be just greed as a virtue.
Now greed, that in many ways has been described as the root of all evil. Yes, there are arguments about Pride being worse or more fundamental, but greed is persistent and eternal in how often it comes up.
Greed as a human trait is very problematic. If we removed greed from humanity what systems of being would be affected? Creativity, progression, ambition, exploration. All of it comes from the same source of dreams and desire.
