In simpler terms, it's greed.
That's too close to a "it's just human nature" asspull too often used to justify capitalistic skullduggery.
It's systems built to reward the exploitation of the many by a few powerful individuals. It's not a sin that is the issue, it's the actual political-economic systems that are currently being maintained.
