I think most people conflate the 2 things the current problems are not just because of capitalism but rather the capture of the government by capitalism.

If you don't discipline capitalism with a firm hand, double insulation guarantees that it takes over the government.
I agree with you. I don't believe pure capitalism or pure socialism works; we need something in between. China is somewhat like that, but because of the type of government it has, it is viewed with a jaundiced eye. Countries exist for their citizens, so things like healthcare, housing, and most infrastructure should be provided or subsidized by the government.
Whose effort should be taxed more to provide money to subsidize it?
