No.

It's the behaviors of humans when they fight over scarce money that you are describing as "evil".

Humans are the root of all evil.

There are lots of evil behaviors that have nothing to do with convenience.

β€œThe fact is that the greatest crimes are caused by excess and not by necessity. Men do not become tyrants in order that they may not suffer cold; and hence great is the honour bestowed, not on him who kills a thief, but on him who kills a tyrant.” - Aristotle

Those falls under non-great crimes, the implicit counterpart to the explicitly mentioned great crimes. It would follow that rectifying those those merely gets one petty honour, rather than great honour.
