This is a little bit out of date already - it's a professor saying it - but it's still a valid point, all the people who "want multiculturalism" don't actually want it...

The problem as defined is that culture is drifting off a cliff - evidenced by the falling birth rate, but also many other things. There's one big mono-culture and it's failing.

@cjd Capitalism has certainly proven to be the best economic system. Particularly when it's strengths are unleashed. The big problem we have not is that regulation tends to provide barriers to its strengths and amplify it's weaknesses.
One example, is disruption. In the short term, it can be quite bumpy but in the long term is a huge strength of capitalism, but most regulation favors entrenchment. If these regulations were in place in early 1900's we'd still be on horses.
