I think we can be just as prosperous if we went off that exploitation model you list and shifted to more Worker Owned Cooperatives.

In turn, pushing a strong decentralized economic model for factories based on environmental sustainability(this especially applies to agriculture) will drive investment in infrastructure like never before. For fresh food it should follow this path, coming at best a distance of a day or two away by rail(NOT HS) instead of from distant, GIANT corporate farms. The latter are not sensible, you can argue about sustainability or not. I mean how much food ends up rotting and has to be thrown out because of the great distance it travels?
