preventing them from operating in present-day capitalistic societies

Is that not the point of at least some of parts of the Vinaya?

Raga (Sanskrit, also rāga; Pali lobha; Tibetan: 'dod chags) is a Buddhist concept of character affliction or poison referring to any form of "greed, sensuality, lust, desire" or "attachment to a sensory object".... The Abhidharma-samuccaya states:

 
What is craving (raga)? It is attachment to the three realms of existence. Its function consists of engendering suffering.[7]

Raga is said to arise from the identification of the self as being separate from everything else.

Alas, I only have that book in sanskrit.
