I don't think it's a failure of capitalism so much as a failure of the current neocolonial brand of capitalism in place. We're operating on an economic system that, on the macro scale, literally makes no sense. Creating money from debt is as logical as killing people in the name of increasing the population. This may not be the final straw, but I'm of the belief that, until we alter our economic system so that money represents value and not debt, we will be on the road to a royal ass-kicking of some sort.
