I think the implementation is where things went wrong too. Unfortunately, you can't even weigh the merits publicly in a place like this because the strong arm of the current system keeps the gas on anti "other systems" propaganda. There are trillions at stake for those at the top so as long as anything other than "current system" is demonized effectively, we can't even discuss change let alone expect it.
You can't change human nature, which is why implementation fails. In a high trust ethnocentric society you can almost make it work, but you need to incentivize individual hard work.
