Text B
The “ standard of living” of any country means the average persons share of the goods
and services which the country produces. A country's standard of living, therefore, depends
first and foremost on its capacity to produce wealth. "Wealth" in this sense is not money, for
we do not live on money but on things that money can buy.- "goods" such as food and cloth-
ing, and "services" such as transport and entertainment.
A country's capacity to produce wealth depends upon many factors, most of which have
an effect on one another. Wealth depends to a great extent upon a country' s natural re-
sources, such as coal, gold, and other minerals, water supply and so on. Some regions of
the world are well supplied with coal and minerals, and have a fertile soil and a favorable
climate; other regions possess none of them.
Next to natural resources comes the ability to turn them to use. Some countries are per-
haps well off in natural resources, but suffered for many years from civil and external wars,
and for this and other reasons have been unable to develop their resources. 'Sound and stable
political conditions, and freedom from foreign invasion, enable a country to develop its natu-
ral resources peacefully and steadily, and to produce more wealth than another country
equally well served by nature but less well ordered. Another important factor is the technical
efficiency of a country's people. Industrialized countries that have trained numerous skilled
workers and technicians are better placed to produce wealth than countries whose workers
are largely unskilled.
A country's standard of living does not only depend upon the wealth that is produced
and consumed within its own borders, but also upon what is indirectly produced through
international trade. For example, Britain's wealth in foodstuffs' and other agricultural
products would be much less if she had to depend only on those grown at home. Trade makes
it possible for her surplus manufactured goods to be traded abroad for the agricultural
products that would otherwise be lacking. A country's wealth is, therefore, much influenced by
its manufacturing capacity, provided that other countries can be found ready to accept its
manufactures.
