Some people think that economic progress is the only way to measure a country's success, while others that think that there are other factors which can be used to measure a country's success. What are these factors? Which, of all factors, do you think are most important?

It is often argued by some that capital accumulation is the only important factor to defined a country as successful, while others claim that

should be taken into consideration to evaluate the prosperity of a nation. The paragraphs below will expose these points and explain which one of them is the most important.

way, in my opinion, amid the points described above, the most important one is the

. Through the development of a critical sense and inciting creative minds in the community, more ideas are given and, thereby, more solutions to internal political, market and health setbacks would be displayed, which would improve the nation's weaknesses and could lead to economic progress as a consequence, in the long-term.

Hence

should be analysed to give a complete perspective.
