There is a big difference between the model of economy in the past and the current one. And that is that for the longest time, the primary aim was survival and personal satisfaction. Our current system is different in that it requires constant growth. You can never produce or consume too much. If the economy stops growing, that is a catastrophe. And there were obviously problems in the past and capitalism has also lead to great achievements, but the requirement of constant growth is definitely a problem.
