Can education suppress greedy tendencies?

I can feel greed almost everywhere I go.

I can feel it here on the blockchain and I am afraid I might have a little bit of it inside me.

When someone has this overwhelming urge to acquire more of something, is this really that bad? Or is it a great factor to achieve more in life for the greater good of oneself or others?

As something that often brings out the worst in people, I can’t agree that greed is a nice thing. Just imagine how many conflicts, controversies, divorces that could be dismissed just by switching to the opposite side of this destructive force.

Education can produce change in people. But not all people want to change their ways. Those who do might need proper education. Assuming that this kind of education exists, where can one go to find it and learn how to be not greedy?
