Economic growth is the best path to prosperity for any and all members of a society, not just the people at the top.
What do you mean by prosperity?
Do you think economic growth, without anything else, is enough for this?
What do you think is the best path to prosperity for society?
There is no "ONE" path. It requires balance.
And if you were to make a list of the most important factors in acheiving prosperity for all. What do you think would be at the top of the list?
Base word is prosper which means: To be fortunate or successful, especially in terms of one's finances; thrive.
What is it that you mean by prosperity?
Fairness, and a reliable legal system to ensure it.
Agreed a reliable legal system is essential for a society to provide "fairness", but would you say that was the most important thing in helping people "thrive, flourish, succeed."
And when you talk about fairness do you think fairness is giving the most possible to everyone, or taking from those with the most to give to those with the least?
To be happy. That is what it all comes down to.
And do you agree that all the other things, fairness, equality, legal system etc should work so as to maximise happiness?
