I am using compound word "money-oriented" too much in my essay. I want another word for it. Person who not only thinks about money all the time but also earns money through any means. They are ready to earn money even in the middle of war. They don't think what is right or what is wrong. Only one thing they can think off is making money by any means. They need not to be in bad or good light. In short, they don't have any particular ethics to follow.
I want the word which is quite neutral. It should fit greedy politicians, greedy businessmen, greedy youngster, greedy person etc., but their greed to earn should be of money. One more thing, they are not thieves, or robbers but people who will earn money without thinking something is morally right or morally wrong.
Such ____ people don't have any ethics to earn money.
I will also like to use this word as a title of my essay: "_____ human society". So, little outstanding or catchy word will be helpful.

Perhaps the exquisite and rare adjective "quomodocunquizing" will suit your need. And, it does not have negative overtone, it is very much neutral. You can use it in all possible registers: greedy politicians, greedy businessmen, greedy youngster, greedy person, or greedy society etc. You can also use it in your essay title. It is an adjective defined as,
that makes money in any possible way
Merriam Webster referes it as an archaic (and not obsolete) word. Check side note: https://www.merriam-webster.com/words-at-play/patriotism-vs-nationalism
So, if you are driven by the desire to accumulate wealth by hook or by crook you are an "quomodocunquizing person". You don't have to be a criminal or mafia to do so, you can be quomodocunquizing businessman.
Also, if you prefer, then you can use materialistic. It is an adjective and has a somewhat negative connotation.It is a synonym of "money-oriented". Being a materialistic or money-oriented isn't an acute negative thing in the contemporary world, isn't it?
Merriam Webster: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/materialistic
excessively concerned with material possessions; money-oriented.
