_Atlas Shrugged_ ... movie series, that would be longer
more verbose way.  Not a horrible set of movies if you can
ignore the political/philosophical bull poop, but way
far from great movies.  Meh.  Whatever.
And I'm guessing the book is yet longer (nope, haven't read
it - movies were way long enough thank-you-very-much).

Yeah, most stuff that's basically:
"And here's how you do utopia!" ...
mostly just doesn't work like that ...
if it worked that well and easily, it would've been done
long ago and would still be quite existing ... "oops".
Yeah, time to refine those "utopia" plans ... or toss 'em
out and try from scratch again.

... not to say it's infeasible to get a society to work
highly well on at least a quite small scale ... that sometimes
happens fairly(/rather?) well.  But sustainably, and scaling to
populations of tens to hundreds of millions or more ...
billions even, ... things get a lot more messy and complex.
Most such larger systems end up being some kind of compromise,
so there will always be supporters and detractors - and a fair
spread of mixed perspectives/opinions between.
