1. Natural Resources. Things like trees to make paper, oil to make gasoline. Animals and rich farmland for food, etc…

2. Human Resources. Educated people with drive to grow and prosper.

b) The ability the country has to exploit the natural resources for its own benefit.

c) The ability the country has to get other countries to purchase its goods.

d) The “productivity” of the people — ability to produce goods and services.
