   The "standard of living" of any country means the average person’s share of the goods and services the country produces. A country’s standard of living,(51), depends on its capacity to produce wealth. "Wealth"(52)this sense is not money, for we do not live on money(53)on things that money can buy: "goods" such as food and clothing, and "services" such as transport and entertainment.

A country’s wealth is, therefore, much(65)by its manufacturing capacity, provided (如果) that other countries can be found ready to accept its manufactures.
