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.
