If capitalism is the economic system du jour, and it doesn't solve problems which were previously negative effects of past economic systems-- the fact that previous systems endured these problems doesn't negate the reality that these are problems with capitalism as well. All this hints at is that there is a more ideal system, just as capitalism is more ideal than feudalism.

It only says capitalism isn't perfect, not that there's a more perfect system than capitalism.
