Good pillars! "Goodwill" is a good catch all for the most important bits- to me it boils down to practicing respect and upholding personal integrity = an ethos of respect (for humans and other living beings, including "nature"/ecosystems) An ethic of respect seems to me is what has dissolved from our society at so many levels, and without it all we have is individual self interest and something like goodwill (which to me seems softer than respect- more like a good intention that comes and goes as we have time/inclination to attend to it?).

"Goodwill is pillar that needs repair." You are right. We need a new Economics of Goodwill to replace our current Economics of Rational Rabid Self-Interest in which, as Economist Dennis Snower teaches us: "no one can be made better off without making someone else worse off".
