Where did we go wrong? Why had the sense of collective good disappeared? On a microscale, it seemed that neighbors were less willing at the dawn of the twenty-first century to take minute risks or pay taxes on behalf of the health of the overall community. And on a macroscale, the wealthy world seemed in 2000 to be less willing than they in some cases had been during the days of colonialism a century earlier to come to the aid of African, South Asian, Eastern European and Latin American populations. Why?

I'll bet some ivory tower thinktank prick wrote this. As if people not wanting to go along with tyranny are just "less willing to take minute risks or pay taxes on behalf of the overall community." They can accuse everyone of being racist assholes (basically) and that'll excuse whatever failures of leadership they made. No, it's everyone else's fault.
