Sustainable Competitiveness
However, the correlation or the influence of
the sustainable competitiveness on the GDP
or income level is not immediate; it is time
deferred. Like every endeavor or project, an
upfront investment is required; the seeds have
to be planted, the plants needs to be cared
for before the harvest can be collected. In
addition, the sustainable competitiveness
can be cheated in the presence of large
natural resources trough exploration of the
natural capital (e.g. the oil-rich countries of
the Middle East). However, such wealth is
highly unsustainable and the wealth
generated will diminish in the absence of
development of an adequate alternative
sustainable economy and the underlying
fundament requirements.
