#22A  ECONOMIC GROWTH

I’d say economies are healthy when they’re growing, creating lots of jobs, and there's good public / private sector co-operation.  Investing in infrastructure and better access to information improves productivity and decision-making. Investing in human skills leads to new ideas, new technologiesand new markets. The benefits of growth and free trade will overcome poverty. While environmental problems can be formidable, government and corporate planners backed by scientific and technological expertiseare up to the challenge. Growth is good!
