I'm a big proponant of the idea that what we really need is more valuable shit to do. Higher demand is part of this, so Keynesian approach would help. But we really, IMO, just need more things that we value enough. Higher demand for quality goods is a start. Buying locally made items, paying for better artists, engineers, scientists, etc. We need more projects.

Space program helps. Smart housing programs. Railroads. Microgeneration of electricity, etc.
