USA:

Bring back the "can do" attitude and the lack of aversion to change. The moon and the interstate highway system weren't cheap or easy, and the internet was a massive paradigm shift. Improved rail networks won't be cheap or easy and ending single family zoning will be a massive paradigm shift. Same with ending first past the post, changing our approach to foreign policy, eliminating coal dependence, etc.

I actually think the young have this, but unfortunately old people still dominate our politics and too often the young instead claim to be collectivists while pushing the hyperindividualist solution of "move to another country."
