Final Answer :
Early critiques mostly conclude that state intervention is necessary to control free markets from crisis and collapse (which has largely been the norm since the turn of the century, not the outlier); yet with weakening nation-states all across the globe, solutions of state-regulation are less and less plausible.
Later criticisms focus on the ways American Individualism and materialism are forced upon cultures around the world; but this largely homogenizes both capitalist and non-capitalist cultures.
