    The root issue is a lack of honour in the world today.

      I think that puts too much onto personal responsibility. Most problems are structural.

        And that structure is made of people, and supported by people's decisions.

        People are very happy to abdicate what personal responsibility they have if they can blame the system. (And then fail to help change the system.)

          A system where shareholder value is effectively the only metric will align the people accordingly.
