Overview
Economic prosperity is a worthy objective. Prosperity provides people with the goods and services they want to consume, and with wealth that can be used to provide future benefits. A strong economy allows investment in human and social capital, and social services. When economies are weak, countries may have few options to obtain cash and satisfy material needs that do not damage their environments. In the long run, a strong economy is essential for securing good social and environmental outcomes.
