The government should issue a national economic plan every decade that specifies a specific goal with rewards based on meeting milestones. For example, say it is the 1960's and the Space Race is in full swing. The government should issue a national plan for the development of space related technologies with rewards for meeting goals such as a functional EVA suit, a powerful enough computer to calculate a moon landing, or a functional capsule for crew. By having a clear and defined goal to work towards, the nation can unify towards that objective, therefore boosting patriotism and the economy.
