[FRIAM] What is Wealth for?

[Merle Lefkoff]

Is the definition of wealth having a lot of whatever the culture values?
(I'm late meeting Nick's challenge to me.)  The former Bhutan (it's
changing drastically and rapidly) valued Happiness.  It's why their happy
people thought they were wealthy, despite being one of the world's least
"developed" country. (GDP is now rising with outside development of its
natural resources).
