The truly great motivator in society is not self interest but unselfish interest for the well being of others and that usually begins with family and salts the very flavor of society. It not only on of the strongest motivators but because it has a generational designed built in to the family model it brings and ebb and flow to an economy which is essential to steady growth.
What some call human capital is merely what people bring to the workplace. Their skills, knowledge and ideas can stimulate innovation, productivity through improved efficiency and which will provide economic growth. But all men are not equal. All men are not born in the family, raised in families and all families are not equal in virtues of love, dedication, sacrifice or honor.

Achievable Possibilities
The Public Bank Solution by Ellen Brown [1] A book on public banking strongly advocated by the author.
Description: WHAT WALL STREET DOESN'T WANT YOU TO KNOW. Shock waves from one Wall Street scandal after another have completely disillusioned us about our banking system; yet we cannot do without banks. Nearly all money today is simply bank credit. Economies run on it, and it is created when banks make loans. The main flaw in the current model is that private profiteers have acquired control of the credit spigots. They can cut off the flow, direct it to their cronies, and manipulate it for personal gain at the expense of the producing economy. The benefits of bank credit can be maintained while eliminating these flaws, through a system of banks operated as public utilities, serving the public interest, and returning their profits to the public. This book looks at the public bank alternative and shows that it works admirably well with examples from around the world. It provides the key to a sustained high-performance economy and well-being for the people.

The World of Debt
Web of Debt [4] The Shocking Truth About Our Money System and How We Can Break Free, by Ellen Brown
Description: Our money system is not what we have been led to believe. The creation of money has been "privatized," or taken over by private money lenders. Thomas Jefferson called them “bold and bankrupt adventurers just pretending to have money.” Except for coins, all of our money is now created as loans advanced by private banking institutions — including the privately-owned Federal Reserve. Banks create the principal but not the interest to service their loans. To find the interest, new loans must continually be taken out, expanding the money supply, inflating prices — and robbing you of the value of your money.
"A big fan of Ellen Brown who has written some one of the best books on the subject." - Gary Kinghorn
