That's harder than just shifting the economic system. The problem is that human beings (or at least a lot of them) willingly and almost instinctively follow psychopaths and narcissists. As long as that's the case then these behaviors will be rewarded in any and all economic systems. The rules for how money moves around do not change human psychology.

You don't think the constant drive for profit encourages people to indulge their worst qualities? I'm not saying that people can't be naturally selfish and narcissistic, but people can also naturally be kind, generous, and compassionate. If there was an economic system that didn't put profit above all else I think you would see more of the latter qualities.

All major experiments in full blown socialism have turned into mafia states. The drive for profit exists regardless of political system.

I'm not advocating for turning the US into the USSR. There are lessons to be learned, good and bad, from experiments in socialism. The US is turning into an Oligarchy and we can't even get socialized healthcare because people have such a knee-jerk reaction to anything that dares challenge any free market.
