Well, in many cases (but not all of course), people who put "country" first, get much better outcomes in the end. In fact, if you look at the poor half of the world -- it's where everybody mostly put themselves first.

So I argue that for the best life quality, there should be some balance between the two. Although figuring out the best balance is a very hard problem.
