I'd say the problem is elite classes gathering too much power, unchecked by the working classes. This problem manifests under either capitalism or socialism. The communists took it to quite an extreme, but the capitalists are working on it.
The capitalist extreme is fascism, where the free market is displaced by government sanctioned oligopoly. That has been tried too.
The crisis cannot be resolved from the top down, not intentionally. At least some of the elites must be cut down to size, one way or another. It's not going to happen voluntarily.
