Such economies typically have strong public education, fair hiring practices, low barriers to entrepreneurship, and a strong social safety net.
The US had such an economy in the post WWII years, but economic mobility has dropped in recent years. (Probably because we gutted the educational system, and bankrupt people that get sick. Also, WWII trained an unprecedented number of mechanics and engineers in the US.)
