Lowering the GINI coefficient in a country would be a good start while maintaining or increasing GDP. An example of countries that have done this are Scandinavian countries.

Historically, the GINI coefficient was much lower in the US post WWII, with increased GDP while keeping the GINI coefficient low through benefits conferred to GIs in homesteading, education, loans, and healthcare.
