I think that's the crux of it. Nobody with money to do big things is asking, "What does the world need?" They're always asking, "What can I convince the world it needs so it will give me even more money, and how can I retain exclusive rights to it?"
The human race absolutely has the capacity to turn the world into a wonderful, plentiful place for everybody, but those with the means of starting that are more motivated to acquire more and more for themselves, and most of the common people don't trust the world enough to entertain sweeping proposals because what if it's a trick or just doesn't work?
