This book is the latest report by the World Bank to estimate comprehensive wealth - including produced, natural and human / institutional assets - for over 100 countries. This ground-breaking report presents wealth accounts for 1995, 2000, and 2005, permitting the first longer-term assessment of global, regional, and country performance in building wealth.
