Derived termsFrom Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Wealth is the abundance of valuable resources or material possessions or the control of such assets. The word wealth is derived from the old English wela, which is from an Indo-European word stem. An individual, community, region or country that possesses an abundance of such possessions or resources is known as wealthy. The concept of wealth is of significance in all areas of economics, especially development economics, yet the meaning of wealth is context-dependent and there is no universally agreed upon definition. Various definitions and concepts of wealth have been asserted by various individuals and in different contexts. Defining wealth can be a normative process with various ethical implications, since often wealth maximization is seen as a goal or is thought to be a normative principle of its own. Although precise data is not available, the total household wealth in the world has been estimated at $125 trillion in year 2000. 90% of this wealth is held by people in North America, Europe, and high-income Asian countries, and 1% of adults are estimated to hold 40% of world wealth, a number which falls to 32% when adjusted for purchasing power parity.

Real wealth is goods and services that people use to fulfill their needs and wants. And no single country can produce efficiently and effectively everything its people need and want. That's why international trade and commerce plays such an important role in making people and countries wealthy. And that's why trade barriers will likely bring more poverty rather than more wealth. Trade barriers increased poverty in 1930's. And there is no good reason to think that doing the same thing now will somehow bring about a better result.

All countries have been poor by today's standards for most of their history and only in the last 100 years or so have any been rich.
