The west would fix a majority of problems currently plaguing it - most people would see through the bs.
To sum up victorian rates of innovation (think ideas as big as the steam train, combustion engine, global shipping) ocuring in the modern setting. 1950s style quality of life (secure job, progression, no need for uni for most, clean streets, fair law). Much less money spent on welfare, far fewer criminals.
In terms of specific inventions. I'd predict massive industrial use of new materials and synthesis (which academia has produced but is not taken up by business bc they prefer their comfy position). Expect more Musks, pushing current tech to its peak affordability. Cracking some form of carbon neutral energy in 5-10 years. Focus on improving the human body/ mainstream exoskeleton type 'upgrades' in about 20 years.
