The solution isn't a change in the economic system but actually applying capitalism to the government thus creating a system of government known as federalism. Pure federalism (a government based on federalism at every level, national-state-regional-local) is required though to ensure a minimal amount of corruption and the encapsulation of corruption which the system will then work out and crush. Just as an example a shift from a national military to even just a state based military (not to speak of shifting it down to regional or local) prevents a massive amount of interventionist policies because then the cost of maintaining a military is shifted to the states and as a result they are less inclined to put troops out for a national effort because they don't just have so much money to throw around, as a result costly intervention is avoided thus preventing massive harm to the local economy (which isn't to speak of harm done to others) and prevents power plays along that vector, as well it also prevents a rogue national government from oppressing it's citizens through military force, whereas state and lower level militaries can band against each other in the case of going rogue. Moral law being distributed to the private citizen and their respective religion as opposed to forming part of the secular law also prevents a great deal of injustice as another example, more commonly termed as "Separation of Church and State", is really a federalist idea of distributing power appropriately.
