The Changing Wealth of Nations (Environment and Sustainable Development)

This book is the latest report by the World Bank to estimate comprehensive wealth -- including produced, natural and human / institutional assets -- for over 100 countries. This ground-breaking report presents wealth accounts for 1995, 2000, and 2005, permitting the first longer-term assessment of global, regional, and country performance in building wealth. This overall assessment is complemented by chapters detailing individual components of wealth, as well as how countries and the World Bank are using comprehensive measures of wealth for policy analysis.
