Either unplug from it or become immune to it. Thats a good path, a prerequisite for coming up with solutions.

I'm interested in the Federal reserve's ability to print money out of thin air. I think that could actually be a pretty good idea to build a new economic system around. We basically keep things the way they are, but eliminate all debts and taxes. The government wouldn't need to tax since they can get money out of thin air. We'd need limits to the amount that could be printed up, we should probably keep it pretty simple, so what I'd suggest would be "imaginary taxes", which would basically be the way we do taxes now, but instead of taking that money out of people's hands we let them keep it, and print up money equivalent to the amount of imaginary taxes that's accumulated. The rich might actually start "paying" taxes this way.
I'd like to get more complex than this, but I don't really know much about economics. There are probably some flaws in what I've already suggested that aren't apparent to me, so I'll see if anybody can point them out to me.
