Economic growth
A sustained rise in real GDP per person, which is the same thing as the production possibilities curve or LRAS shifting outward. Over decades it is what separates rich countries from poor ones, and small differences in the growth rate compound into enormous gaps.
Also called: growth rate, GDP per capita
