Sure, it'd be a tremendous effort, but humanity has achieved tremendous feats before (pyramids, Mt Rushmore, Angkor Wat, Easter Island heads, etc).
When the final phase of the current system includes a few ultra-rich individuals with the financial capacity to buy cities, and change the fates of entire populations, the system need to be changed immediately before it gets out of control.
We'd need to institute government bodies to oversee the transition completely, with fully transparent boards of directors (good luck with that too lol), but it's possible if there was enough collective willpower.
