I think greed (and laziness...which sparks our penchant for working smarter instead of harder) are the drivers behind most of human evolution. If left unchecked they can destroy our happiness and balance though. Now that Bezos will be the world's first trillionaire my hope is he'll treat his employees a bit better but the opposite is more likely because he will be further isolated from the struggles of the every-day person.

Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely, as the saying goes. It takes a will of iron to reign in the intense emotions attached to greed, presented in it's basest form. Let's see how the next generation holding sizable economic wealth and power react to this new, upcoming shift from an older paradigm.
That's so true, brother. I think coming up with a decentralized framework of governing is the only failsafe around this Achilles heal of humanity. If the next generation can build this then they might just save our species from extinction.
