Capitalism. The problem is that the competencies aren't always socially-beneficial or otherwise desirable ones, e.g. one's competency at scamming others can get rewarded (see, e.g., politicians).

Under capitalism you don't necessarily reward politicians. Politicians get rewarded when the spoils of politics are large, not from market exchanges.

I wish that were true, but the number of politicians whose businesses or children mysteriously get rich is pretty high if you look into that sort of thing.
