This is the libertarian part of me speaking, but yes. The system "works" right now, but this shit is dynamic. This particular flavor of mixed market capitalism has only really existed in the US since the 70s when we went off the gold standard. The last major change before that was in the 1910s with the federal reserve. The idea of stocks and bonds themselves are only a couple hundred years old and widespread adoption is way, way more recent.

We live in a pretty good economic world today across the entire globe. Global wealth inequality is falling, we have a higher quality of living, we're more educated, we're healthier. So yes, these systems "work". "Work" in quotations because we still have quite a few problems and issues to work out. But regardless we shouldn't put *all* of our trust in these systems, they are not infallible. Economists are foolhardy and over confident, we don't have the information necessary to guarantee these systems will continue to function the way we want them to.
