The Birth of Plenty is a new book on economics by Dr. William J. Bernstein. 
The book is an inquiry into how prosperity gets created. He states that for countries to become wealthy, four factors must be satisfied:
1. Property rights for individuals.
2. Belief in the scientific method.
3. Free flow of capital.
4. Good roads and communications.
Sounds about right.

It’s interesting that the scientific method is in there. That method is probably responsible for more human progress than almost anything else, except maybe understanding how to use tools.
I wonder how wealth was created pre-scientific method.
those four factors seem a little generalized, maybe even a little obvious.
