When I came to the U.S., I was nine. And what struck me about it was not that it was rich -- I mean yeah, things were clean and new and shiny and plastiky. I was struck by its poverty. In terms of human relations: friendship, solidarity, love, connections, trust....it was a dirt poor country. And it has gotten much poorer since.

Below is a link to a Chilean economist worth listening to:
http://www.democracynow.org/2010/9/22/chilean_economist_manfred_max_neef_us
He is a bit over the top, but almost everything he says, seems right to me. He has a kind of metaphysical view that he claims to have learned from living with poor people in small villages.
