For a summary of the economic mechanisms creating our current hypernormal situation, I strongly recommend watching Mark Blyth's recent lecture[1]. (note that he is giving a summary to a general audience; see his actual publications and/or other lectures for details/references) Adam Curtis talks about the need for the "big vision" for actual change to happen. Mark Blyth, at the end of the lecture, has a few very simple ideas for "big vision" goals that are actually realistic and achievable.
