You can scale the problem down: i.e how do you organize a small group of roommates: * collect money for shared expenses * nominate people to be responsible for particular roles * establish a shared understanding of acceptable behavior There is no 'best way' there is are going to be ways to maximize for certain desired qualities (i.e prosperity as defined by productivity, health, growth) or minimize for certain unwanted qualities (i.e injustice) and these may happen over different time scales - some approaches may provide short term prosperity but long term misery if left uncorrected.
