The world has several big issues such as poverty, climate change and terrorism which need to be solved. Yet the biggest obstacle to solving such problems is the complete lack of engagement people have towards work. Such major issues cannot be resolved when only a third of US working population is engaged at work. This mirrors the trend in school where three-fourths of kids are actively engaged in studies till the age of ten but by the time they are to leave school, the number drops down to a dismal 34 percent. Something goes wrong during these few years which later reflects at work as well. If this segment can be solved, people can develop business innovations to solve all the other problems discussed. Such innovations were in the past never developed by do-gooders but by a competitive engaged workforce leveraging the best of capitalism. There is nothing wrong with this system as long as best use can be made of the workforce.
