But the planning and interventionist capacity has vastly improved comparing to, say, the New Deal policies. In other word, the problem seems to be on a much larger scale, all right, but is the planning capacity of the state and corporate management. So the ratio of planning capacity to the magnitude of problems is faces probably remains the same since the New Deal or even improved slightly.
Another issue - you seem to assume that there is a plan or at least a consistent logic to capitalism. I think it is a rather heroic albeit comforting assumption - for it gives an illusion of rational control, perhaps by extraordinary means (cf. a revolution) but control nonetheless. Methinks, however, that there is no plan or logic, consistent or otherwise - just muddling through one crisis to another. The beast have no sense of purpose or direction - it wavers every which way seems promising at any given moment. That is why it will finds its way out of most crises in one form or another, even if that means sacrificing what it once held dear.
