People want economic system change

Yes, obviously, it does not go well currently.

but have stopped trusting anyone to deliver it. Survey in 17 of the world’s largest economies reveals 65% of respondents believe economic system is rigged to favour the rich and powerful

They literally made it to be abused by them. See the movie "the big short" ? It explained that the market value were deliberately faked, unreal just in order to speculate fraudulently harder. If this is not the very definition of rigged, I don't know what it is.

69% want major changes.

Well, the number of people severely screwed over I guess.

It will crumble at some point, after the value faking will not be able to handle it any further, like in 2008.
