You know what economic system actually works at providing for the needs of the people, while recognizing that only by giving incentive to produce will we see technological greatness? Capitalistic socialism, where the stated goal of both government and business is to improve the people and their well-being (not even on the radar of corporations on most stock markets); and profit is included, but not the only goal.
You know what businesses are like that? B corporations and co-ops are your friends. Invest in them with the knowledge that you're getting something material back for your money, not just more money.
