How can we create a Balanced Economy?

At a first level, the strategy to accomplish the mission of creating a Balanced Economy should address all three of the following:
  1. Growth: The economy's output must grow, so it creates more wealth (or income) in order to feed an increasing population. Without growth, it becomes a problem of redistribution of existing wealth (or income).
  2. Poverty: The minimum income per individual or family that can bring the basic amenities for a reasonable living.
  3. Inequality: Refers to the unequal distribution of income levels among individuals in a given society. Growth is like a rising tide, but that doesn't automatically lift all boats, so policies are necessary to make an equitable distribution happen.
