Is There a Solution to the Paperclip Maximizer?

I call that a mega machine but civilization that's getting better and better at converting the world into money on the other hand we have inefficiencies and dysfunctions within the machine. What serves someone's personal interest can actually make the whether it's a corporation or the mega machine as a whole less efficient so does this mean that there is a light at the end of the tunnel like a way out from a bleak future of the entire world just turn into paper clips? Could we build an alternative or could we somehow take advantage of the built in inefficiencies of organizations as we know them to supplant the civilization with something better, I propose.
