You don't have to educate them to be free thinkers. Just enough to give them a taste of disposable income. Spiritual things will lose their luster.
No, worship of the private sector as if it shit don't stink is just as much a utopia as a religion itself. I value privacy and private property, but only an idiot thinks our global current crop of uber rich give one fuck about workers. Yes, the more resources humans have the less stressed out they are and the less conflict there will be. But all life is like that and all ecosystems are like that.
I don't think blindly worshiping the private sector is any better than blindly setting up taboos for religion. The best humanity can do to reduce conflict and monopolies, public or private, is to insist on checks and balances and anti monopoly concepts.
