Wealth, Competitiveness, and Intellectual Capital – Sources for Economic Development

National wealth, national competitiveness and national intellectual capital were major objectives of a nation in the last century.

These interrelations demonstrate that national wealth, national competitiveness and intellectual capital are important sources for increasing the economic development based on data from 40 developed, emerging and developing countries.
