Wealth
Description
Jean-Francois Noubel:
"What is wealth?
In the conventional sense, when we say someone is "wealthy", it implies this person has lots of money in his/her bank account. But wealth, in its essence, expresses something much deeper about reality: the well-being. It begins with essential basic material needs that every human being has a right to access: food, clean water, health, clothing, shelter, education... Humans also need wealth at the immaterial level: love, care, free time, art, beauty, acknowledgment, self-development...
Another way to put it: wealth is whatever brings us closer to what is true, good and beautiful.
What are the different forms of wealth?
There are 3 forms of wealth: tradable, measurable, acknowledgeable. Each one is a subset of the other one. All of these together we call integral wealth.
- Tradable wealth: food, time, energy, services, material resources...
- Measurable wealth: performance, sustainability, physiological health, quality...
- Acknowledgeable wealth: fun, love, care, trust, beauty..."
