I think there are two types of solution to social problems, which for now I’ll call ‘technical’ and ‘cultural’ (other name suggestions welcome). Some problems can be solved with technical solutions alone; some with cultural solutions alone; and other problems need both. If a problem needs both types of solution, it’s a mistake to over-prioritize one category of solution at the expense of the other.
