Anyone who found this line of thinking intriguing, I would like to recommend a book by Ursula Le Guin, The Dispossessed.

It's a story that follows a mathematical genius who lives on a primitive and poor but utopic anarchic planet.

His planet, however, orbits a planet very similar to ours. Due to his discoveries, one of the countries on the earth like planet asks him to continue his work on their planet. During his time there, he explores the danger, sickness and wonders our beliefs and system of capitalism creates.
