Eutopia. Universal service produces an egalitarian system. Each person must serve a period of time in some labor for the country, which turns them into patriots as well as producing public works. The focus is on two very wealthy people and the way they become truly useful citizens by serving their required time, interacting with people from varied backgrounds, and doing useful work.
