We’ve left it too late to ever achieve fifth gear. We are over consuming resources and wasting most of them since as you say it’s maladministered and unevenly distributed. Our economy only works with endless growth. Say it is about 3.5% world wide at present. Therefore in 20 years we will have doubled the size of the economy and theoretically doubled again in another 20 years. This is well within the lifetimes of anyone under 30.

The planet cannot support us already long term. We are at 1 1/2 planets now. Population is way over a sustainable limit. It will crash. It is ordained.
