There are many, but none yet have been as efficient, or lead to nearly as good as our current one. The goal of the current system (in theory) is not to lead to the most profit, but to lead to the most competition and making everyone do the best thing for other's through them chasing the goal of profit. Government sets the goals, the environments, etc, to cause this to happen, and free actors will help others on their own time and with their own goals in mind.Can you not conceive of more than one (the current) social order that would be able to provide for human needs?
I'm questioning the ultimate incentive and goals of the current system, which is in the end an abstraction of reality in the form of (almost always) profit.
