I’m going to go out on a limb and suggest that capitalism isn’t fundamentally flawed, and perhaps it’s worth just fine-tuning it a little to solve some of its problems (such as inequality and lack of social awareness and identity).

A large portion of our disposable capital and time (especially when we’re young) goes to entertainment and our pastimes. We spend a large number of money after work, looking for something to keep us engaged. What if it was social norm to give back to the society instead of spending the time and money on oneself? Not a requirement, but something seen as a way to fit in (just like trendy clothing) or a way to pass time (like watching TV)?
