This all reminds me of a conversation in Star Trek Deep Space 9. Season 5 episode 20

For context Quark is talking with his mother Ishka about the qualities that the leader, the Nagus, of their hyper capitalist society should have.

Quark: Of course not. He was willing to throw our entire economy into chaos just so he could grab power.

Ishka: Sounds like a true Ferengi to me.

Quark: A Ferengi, maybe, but not a Nagus. A Nagus has to be better than that. His personal greed has to reflect the public’s greed.
