Prosperity requires maintaining and creating wealth, broadly defined, therefore the significance of wealth development does not change to achieve this objective. Development organizations and community and researchers have advocated that an asset based approach to rural and community development in the last decades.

Though the concept of wealth development is bring attention among professionals and development funders and policy makers, research on this subject was limited. You will find large and growing literatures on a few kinds of assets and their connection to economic growth, such as natural, human and social capital. There's been research how these theories can be quantified, and that applies a framework comprising numerous types of assets to look into the dynamics and interactions of investments in several types of assets. Recent work by key economists has sought to measure the overall wealth of chosen nations, but the theories and methods in this research haven't yet been taken up in study on rural regions of the US.To take stock of what's known about what represents wealth in rural areas, how it may be created and maintained to improve rural livelihoods, and how progress in creating it may be measured, and also to initiate an ongoing dialog and study effort, the United States Department of Agriculture Economic Research Service and the Ford Foundation co authored a National Conference on Rural Wealth Creation and Livelihoods at Washington, D.
