What kind of prosperity have we achieved so far? The wi
40、despread definition of prosperity focuses on economic power and growth as measures of success. Lets take a look at history. The Second Industrial Revolution enabled mass production and created a sufficient supply of goods. This has greatly increased the importance of money in its role as “a store of
41、 value, ” and “a medium of exchange. ”As a result, we have pursued economic power as the only indicator of prosperity, such as GDP. Waves of globalization and technological evolution have promoted overall economic growth, but have allowed the few who are strong to achieve greater power while exploit

Businesses must be pioneers in pursuing not only economic growth but also the happiness of all citizens of society. C
45、ompanies can contribute through the pursuit of social value as well as economic profit. At the heart of this lies “purpose”. A companys purpose defines the value it brings to society.

Happiness is changeable and beyond control.B. Happiness largely depends on economic power.C. The pursuit of profit determines a companys true worth.D. A prosperous
