*Which philosophy helps us confront the crises that beset us... "we first" or "me first"?*

I agree with the basic point. We can't expect capitalism to naturally produce a system that will give society the best of capitalism and share the benefits with all of us. Capitalism tends to empower the greedy, who will seek to leave us in poverty. Preventing that requires institutions that are powerful enough to keep the rich down.

Ironically, we see that functioning only in China. But China's political repression makes it hell to be shunned.
