They can't enjoy play because they haven't improved their marketable skill set to anything beyond Starbucks batista. So they have nothing valuable enough to earn enough money to have a good living and still have free time.
Capitalism appears to have failed as a system, just as communism and socialism has failed (albeit in a different and less gruesome manner and over a longer time frame).

Unfortunately, I don't think the modern west has enough intelligent people to choose either path.
