It is used to make money. Evil seems to pay better these days.

You don't fix people, you fix incentives. This requires regulation to prohibit bad behavior and reward for good behaviors.

Evil will always pay better, until everyone is equally evil. There's an essay titled "Meditations on Moloch" which covers this topic quite well (including how you can't sufficiently fix incentives).

Interesting read, but I didn't see anything constituting a proof that it is impossible to fix incentives.
