[star trek/general sci-fi] how does a post scarcity society deals with human greed?

how people with an insatiable hunger for more would be dealt with in a post scarcity society? like, not only normal greed but also individuals with megalomaniacal intentions in the vein of "i want a planet/solar system/galaxy"?

Why do they need to deal with them?

You can't take over the world alone, and with no desperate people to exploit and a power structure run by people who genuinely want to help people, the building an army thing is simply not feasible. Steve can *want* to rule the galaxy to his hearts content, but he's not going to spark a rebellion or become unaccountably powerful, so he's can't do much more then sit at home seething about it.

Generally, if they're really dedicated, they leave to other parts of the galaxy more suited to them, and get attacked by starfleet if they make a play for it. But within their borders, someone with an insatiable hunger like you describe is just a pathetic guy with huge ambitions and no way to attain them by virtue of the society they're in.
