If you want to look at how too resolve an Islamist extremism issue, look no further than Xinjiang.

The economic system incentivizes and supports consolidation of wealth into a select few, and people are confused why it's happening?

Consolidation of wealth protects the status quo, which makes it incredibly challenging for us to make progress towards any society-level goals (like combating climate change). The wealthy are insulated from the costs of their actions in a way that average people are not.
