Never before have so many people been so well off. However, prosperity is not a law of nature; it has to be worked for. A liberal economy stands at the forefront of this success ? not as a political system, but as a set of economic rules promoting competition, which in turn leads to innovation, research and enormous productivity. Sustainable prosperity is built on a foundation of freedom, equal opportunity and a functioning government. This requires a stable democracy that cannot be defeated by an autocrat. Autocrats claim that ?illiberalism? is more efficient, an assertion that justifies their own power. Although autocrats can efficiently guide the first steps out of poverty, once a certain level of prosperity has been achieved, people begin to demand a sense of well-being ? freedom and codetermination. Only when this is possible will they feel comfortable, and progress will continue. Respect for human rights is crucial. The rules of the free market do not lean to either the right or left politically. Liberalism and the welfare state are not mutually exclusive. The ?conflict? concerns the amount of government intervention. Should there be more or less? As a lawyer, entrepreneur, and board member with over 40 years of experience in this field of conflict, the author clearly describes the conditions necessary for a country to maintain its position at the top. 410 0$aSpringerBriefs in Political Science,$x2191-5466 606 $aComparative politics 606 $aPolitical theory 606 $aInternational economics 606 $aPolitical science 606 $aComparative Politics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911040 606 $aPolitical Theory$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911010 606 $aInternational Economics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W33000 606 $aGovernance and Government$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911220 610 $aComparative Politics 610 $aPolitical Theory 610 $aInternational Economics 610 $aGovernance and Government 610 $aLiberalism 610 $aEqual opportunity 610 $aStable democracy 610 $aFreedom 610 $aFree market 610 $aGovernment intervention 610 $aLiberal Economy 610 $aIlliberalism 610 $aHuman rights 610 $aAutocracy 610 $aPoverty 610 $aProsperity 610 $aProductivity 610 $aInnovation 610 $aWelfare state 610 $aEuropean Union 610 $aSwitzerland 610 $aImmigration 610 $aIntegration 610 $aOpen access 610 $aComparative politics 610 $aPolitical science & theory 610 $aInternational economics 610 $aPolitical structure & processes 615 0$aComparative politics. 615 0$aPolitical theory. 615 0$aInternational economics. 615 0$aPolitical science. 615 14$aComparative Politics. 615 24$aPolitical Theory. 615 24$aInternational Economics. 615 24$aGovernance and Government. 676 $a320 700 $aMeyer$b Max$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0828242 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910411948103321 996 $aLiberal Democracy$91903148 997 $aUNINA
