Many thanks to all that made contributions in response to my question on how a country can prosper by helping citizens to prosper. Here are some broad themes that emerged from the amazing contributions: #nationalprosperity
1. Educate citizens for free up to high school so they can have the character and in-demand skills needed to be productive. It gives large returns in income and counters widening inequality. #nationalprosperity
2. Create the environment for citizens to thrive and businesses to grow and scale through provision of world class infrastructure including power, water, roads, healthcare, and broadband connectivity through innovative funding. #nationalprosperity
3. Create a business friendly environment where innovation and creativity thrive through policies, protection of property rights and support for small businesses with tax incentives. These will lead to job creation. #nationalprosperity
4. Ensure security of life and property, and social protection when needed.
5. Ensure justice/rule of law so excellence is rewarded and bad behavior punished. #nationalprosperity

8. Define our value system. No country can grow except its values align with its developmental program. Reshape our values to rise beyond greed, intimidation and instant gratification. #nationalprosperity
9. Enable hubs based on competitive advantage to make the best use of resources across the country. #nationalprosperity
10. The only way to make the needed change is for good people to join the political train and make the needed change. #nationalprosperity
These are brilliant ideas. I have a follow up question. I will post that tomorrow. Thank you. #nationalprosperity
