Other side of the problem is, we just haven’t been able to come up with a better economic system. Sure it might be sucky for us, but millions of people were lifted from extreme poverty over the last 10 years. Those people would probably support the system since the benefit they see is larger than what we see.
Maybe it’s younger millennial talk, but most of my peers have given up on everyone else except their direct contacts.

And we've dismantled (or witness the dismantling) of dozens of better attributes the current one used to have (from unions to Glass–Steagall). There's nothing special that needs some novel invention.

See plenty of socialist/communist regimes as examples. This is not to say that those are better systems, but they are demonstration by precedent of what the reaction to their presence will be.
