How do you define 'prosperity?' Do you mean it in a narrow economic sense of a wider sense (e.g. ensuring general utility).
Whose prosperity are we talking about? What time frame?
I'll take maximum economic prosperity now and leave maximum social prosperity to the point when most of the world is industrialized and children aren't being arbitrarily tortured by disease and starvation. I don't care about the first world poor.
