I think Tolkien, who was also Catholic, had the same conceptualisation of England as a nation that had lost is mythology. LOTR is a reflection of that, particularly the end when Frodo returns to a changed Shire that's lost its innocence.
I would love to read a book on this topic. Would you consider publishing a physical book through Amazon like many independent authors? You can get great quality prints now. I think I'd struggle to read a book on my phone or laptop.
I am eager to read it as well. Scholasticism also played a hand in these ideas. The classical philosophers consistently leaned toward social good over individual goods, but the Scholastics tended toward a balance of both that only Christianity has ever advocated.

I will look for where Aquinas talks about it.
