As with any optimization process, the objective function is of prime importance.

If the only motivator is profit and money, with no feedback loops or sidecars including a factor accounting for human comfort and dignity, you are literally fighting an uphill battle in the space of the objective function.

The answer, I strongly believe, lies in making money somehow account for the human costs associated with conducting business. In whatever economy we operate, if having more money implies you will be treated better than those without, you will see what we are seeing today. If, instead, treating society better means you have more money (which makes life marginally, but not hugely, better than your fellow humans), you will see an incentivization toward social good.
