Global wealth has grown overall — but at the expense of future prosperity and by exacerbating inequalities , according to the World Bank ’ s new ‘ Changing Wealth of Nations ’ report released recently . Countries that are depleting their resources in favour of short-term gains are putting their economies on an unsustainable development path . While indicators such as Gross Domestic Product ( GDP ) are traditionally used to measure economic growth , the report argues for the importance of considering natural , human and produced capital to understand whether growth is sustainable . A deeper and more nuanced understanding of the sustainability of wealth is crucial to a green , resilient and inclusive future , said the World Bank . It is essential , it added , that renewable natural capital and human capital are given the same importance as more traditional sources of economic growth , so that policymakers take steps to enable long-term prosperity . In this issue of ISMR , we ask various international sheetmetal machine tool manufacturers for their views on markets , industry trends , current challenges and new product / R & D developments . You can read these interviews throughout the issue . We analyse growth patterns , trends and forecasts for global HVAC ( heating , ventilation and airconditioning ) markets on page 22 and chronicle Poland ’ s path through the pandemic , with forecasts and growth projections for its economy and manufacturers ( page 26 ). You can also uncover a selection of the latest global waterjet innovations on page 48 . Send us your machine process or technology video links for the ISMR website and ISMR ’ s new YouTube channel .
