I find discussions of economic desert rarely get anywhere since everyone has a different idea of what is deserved.
I like to talk about incentives. We have a massive under supply of housing across the developed world, in part because so much labor is training for desk jobs rather than construction jobs.
If you want to solve the housing problem, you need to change the incentives for young people to shun construction jobs. That means more money and eventually status for manual laborers and less money and eventually status for desk jockeys.

That's just one example.
