Richard,
Not that your argument is utopian--it is pure idealism. You are making an
argument that supposes global transformation can occur upon a shift in
values. All that we need to do is "regenerate" some spirit of humanity we
allegedly lost. I am not certain we ever had this spirit. But I am certain
that spirit only plays a minor role in structural transformation.
Peace,
Andy
