I don't think it's always been this way. Perhaps capitalism is destined to end up here eventually, but I think it's been functional enough for most of our lives. I wouldn't even say it got really bad until very recently, but that could change from one person's perception to another's. I'm happy I got to live most of my life in the era when it wasn't like this.
