This made me smile, but I think it's telling that the film implicitly claims that surrender leads to peace, high stock prices lead to prosperity, and a strong currency leads to wealth. None of these fixes would actually work (and indeed they invert causation in the latter two cases). As long as the wealth creation and human conflict are so deeply misunderstood—even, perhaps especially, by those most dedicated to "saving the world"—I suspect many of these problems will get worse before they get better.

(I spent a sumer in Kenyaand it opened my own eyes.)
"If you don't like the news, go out and make some of your own" would fit well here. FWIW, I am not sure who this quote can be attributed to and some Googling didn't help.
