When was this first written? It is out of touch with the 99% who are aware of the collapse and who are certainly not basking in material wealth. Other than that, yes the need for community is great and its loss is def from "letting" money rule. But the financialization of everything was not a natural process. It was set up and constructed from ideas. The ideas stemmed from a belief based in Newtonian physics. Isolated matter acting separately was the set up. Then Darwin's abused quote -"survival of the fittest," opened the door to even greater justification of exploitation and abuse; aka those who survived did so because they were the "best." These ideas paved the way for this current model. Data and stats seem to dig us in deeper as we count and analyze all the collections seen in our collective "rear view mirrors." All the while, that belief package has been replaced by the quantum model.
We now see the old limited, industrialized (robotized) ideal as good for some things but not for everything Living things need to be free to adapt , evolve and synchronize with needs of their larger selves- their ecosystems which in turn connects to others, etc.
Growing up is a matter of expanding our systems to work with this enlightened vision of the world. Reaching toward relationship, building trust and designing for the new process can be done in gifting circles & other share, co-op constructs that meet the needs and wants of specific communities. Stronger community responsibilities will allow us to create diverse, exciting new ways of thriving that will be shareable and thus constantly able to build anew. Our possibilities will expand with these new ideas. Ideas come from people. Therefore valueing the individual potential of everyone will truly gift our lives in unimaginable ways. We have so much to “win” if we just let go of the outdated systems that were built on premises that we now observe as flawed.
