With his typically larger-than-life insight into contemporary affairs, G.K. Chesterton said this ... roughly a hundred years ago:
"The present chaos is due to a sort of general oblivion of all that men were originally aiming at [viz. happiness] ... There is nothing that so much prevents a settlement as a tangle of small surrenders ... This dazed and floundering opportunism [of politicians] gets in the way of everything. If our statesmen were visionaries something practical might be done." (from What's Wrong With The World)
