A bit of a stupid question, frankly.

The material social realities limit us to praxis idiot.
Acemoglu's book "Why Nations fail".
The difference between short term and long term economics.
Normal macroeconomic policy (fiscal and monetary policy) deals only with the short run, unless you really fuck up like Zimbabwe.
Basically, if there is a demand insufficiency, you lower interests rates. If that fails, you lower taxes or increase government investment.
If there is inflation, you do the opposite.
But this is only to alliviate recessions and control inflation. Economic growth in the long run deals with something entirely different and monetary policy is neutral.
