Your introductory question assumes any one actually believes our current economic system is working the way it should. And by "should", I mean the way Adam Smith envisioned, others may have a different view. Also, other economic systems implemented in the real world have not been implemented the way their visionaries envisioned either. A centralized controlled economic system, such as a communist system, has never been implemented in its pure sense. I would argue that neither system is superior, only different because they serve different end goals.
