That's the thing we're talking about. Will things solve themselves? Yes, eventually. But the lack of clear goals means that you'll need to do it through experience. Experience in these cases means a bucket load of conflicts.

To follow up on what PJ said. There's certainly nothing surprising if the current model of capitalism falls, it's from the 1930-ties (Fordism) if you stretch it a bit. But its fall will not be buissness as usual for those who experience it, even if those living in 2200 sees it that way through the historical lens.
Conflict is a natural part of human life. It is to be expected. It's also to be expected that we live through it and create a new system which will eventually break down into conflict and so on and so on.
