Martin Buber dealt with this when asked if power was evil. He said good things couldn't happen without power - so it was necessary. But that when the goal was accomplished, people had to drop the power they had accumulated. He's right of course - but how do we create a system that will self destruct ( with the happiness of the creators ) when a goal is accomplished? What would it look like?
Buber also said, “Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.”
