Every age, people had some dreams to make them real. For example, in arcaic age, people onliy lived to be alive. They weren't farmers, so hunting was their main resource to live. In later ages, people had different purposes. For instance, people who believed in Chris, lived and struggled to tell people Christianity. Roman kings, commander conquered a lot of cities to accommodate them the Roman sword. Muslim warriors fought for the some purposes, too. Or Cenghis Khan fought against a lot of nations to make happy and wealth the Mongolian.
In summary, from dark ages to madern age, people always had a big idea to fight and strugglu along their lives. But in last ages, especially in 21. century, people don't interested in ideas. I want to say something before the explanations: I'm not an idealist, I'm not a materialist, too. In my opininon, people can't live in full of ideas or full of material benefits. There must be a balance between those two poles. Eventhough, people who have an ideal can survive until they die because of hungry. Because their spiritual resistance is strong than the others. But people who live for only material benefits aren't strong against difficult times. If they had an economic problem, they lose their request of life. Because they can't find any reason to live.
Big brothers tell us: born, go to school, get a job, get married, always want more, save money for retiring, die and repeat after me: I'm free!... Capitalism is deprive us from our ideals. Nobody can live in very good standarts with only his/her ideals, I agree. But, with material greed, we'll never survive and keep our humanity.
