The problem in political/economics is not greed so much as it is indifference. It's not that people want more and more, it's that they don't care to cultivate what's already theirs.
When the biblical regime declares God the owner of the world and of the Land of Israel it is placing into His hands for safekeeping the accumulated wealth and assets respectively of humankind and of the people of Israel. When the biblical regime designates God as the trustee of that accumulated wealth it guarantees that the store of wealth will not be left unattended and it will not be left available to some cunning strongman free for the taking.
