What is the way forward for a world post 2008 ? Isn't issue a nation's success and not prosperity?

Prosperity is the state of being successful in material terms, flourishing financially, activities of bringing wealth and success.

Is a nation’s prosperity (click here) defined solely by its GDP? Prosperity is more than just the accumulation of material wealth, it is also the joy of everyday life and the prospect of an even better life in the future. This is true for individuals as well as nations. The Prosperity Index is the only global measurement of prosperity based on both income and wellbeing. It is the most comprehensive tool of its kind and is the definitive measure of global progress.
The Legatum Prosperity Index™ offers a unique insight into how prosperity is forming and changing across the world.

Rather than prosperous the world demands activity that is auspicious, a future showing or suggesting success is likely.
