The Birth of Plenty is a new book on economics by Dr. William J. Bernstein.

The book is an inquiry into how prosperity gets created. He states that for countries to become wealthy, four factors must be satisfied:
1. Property rights for individuals.
2. Belief in the scientific method.
3. Free flow of capital.
4. Good roads and communications.

Sounds about right.
