While I agree that there is a people ware problem,
1) We can do both - more equitable and productive distribution of wealth and self determination
2) Technology has created a new set of problems, at the intersection of human cognitive/mental limits, which the term "peopleware" tends to shrug off; the impression is that its more a people/social issue not a tech one.
An example, mentioned in the article was when people see 1000s of conspiracists on a forum and the hardcoding in our brains translates it as sign of trust worthiness. Even though a majority of people would call it crazy.
