With the advent of the internet, you have a near infinite wealth of information at your fingertips. It is now even possible to get an Ivy League education for free online! A lot of schools are starting to upload their courses to sites like YouTube.
My favorite online course has been a series of lectures on morality by Harvard philosophy professor Michael Sandel. The first installment explores the “moral side of murder” and introduces utilitarianism. Other episodes discuss the role of government, gay marriage, economic justice, and countless other issues through the lens of various moral paradigms.
Utilitarianism has its short comings — particularly in community economics:

Sandel would agree with you. His book, based on these lectures, is a great read.
