Two different parameter which can seem related or irrelevant somehow. I'm not discussing either relevancy or being irrelevant, but I'm encouraging you to look at this chart in a reverse way:

think outside of the box

People in better wealth have better social progress. This is orthodox thinking and conclusion.

What if I say, let's invest on social capitals to be wealthier?

Why?

Look at countries who are wealthy because of natural resources but suffer from bad governments, dictatorship and fraud leaders. They are wealthy in terms of gdp. But they are low in social resources and this will result in unsustainability.

How?

Invest in social capitals instead of economic infrastructure. Or at least don't forget the importance of social capitals.

Make the next generation more responsible, happier, more ambitous and spread the hope.

And you will have more GDP.

Dear my friend, this is a good suggestion, as you said, if dictatorial governments are allowed to invest in the social sector like the steem.
...by the way thank you

Well, I didn't mean that precisely! If you take steem as an example, I would suggest the entrepreneurial mindset among people.

enabling people to cooperate such as the norm of reciprocity, to end up living a more contributing and engaging society. This will result more wealthy people.

yeah, the buddies of the U.S., Saudi Arabia, real leaders! (-:
