"This book describes estimates of wealth and its components for nearly 120 countries. It regards economic policy as a process of portfolio management in which the assets are produced capital, natural resources, and human resources. In this framework, sustainability is an integral part of economic policy making. The rigorous analysis, presented in accessible format, identifies the conditions for sustainable growth and development, providing a useful yardstick for policymakers."--BOOK JACKET.
