This article may be inspirational to you, but it's not very well written or well argued. Is the California gold rush really an example of "sudden discovery of underutilized resources"? And isn't the subject of that sentence actually the technological changes that inspired the "major changes in economic patterns"? Okay, so zero-sum games and scarcity economics are based on the idea that resources/valuables are limited and I'm all in favor of agreeing that there is no end to resources, creativity, or human sympathy. And I would even be willing to take that a step further and say that, no matter what the problem, there will be people willing to devote their time to it. But the crux is not available resource: the key is defining something as a problem. Are schools the problem, or poverty? Are broken windows the problem, or mandatory minimums? Take away the assumptions from this article, and you aren't left with much more than a half-reasoned book report. I would be much more inspired if the conclusion of this article was something like "nuanced solutions are the only option" rather than what was presented: "be excellent to each other".
