Many may suppose that this question is related to the Mercantile economic system. Placing that aside for the moment, it's a common sense question and a common sense answer.Powerful nations cannot be poor nations, or if so, not for very long. Wealth and power go hand in hand. Now power, as mentioned, needs wealth, however, power can exist to either obtain wealth or simply to keep the status qua alive. As an example, the former Soviet Union was powerful, yet its wealth was used to build weapons. The general public in the USSR were not doing well economically at all. Without the spread of its wealth, the USSR economy fell apart and so did the nation. The Russian Federation, will soon learn the lessons of the USSR. Putin has made Russia powerful, power in weapons, but economically the people are not prosperous in a way that Western Europe is.
