Exports and imports, a growing positive balance of trade, investments, and bank balances are not a measure of national wealth. English exports were far higher than they are now until the outbreak of World War II. Despite this, England now enjoys higher national prosperity than it has in the past. Because the ordinary Englishman's income has increased while working as field and factory labourers, clerks, police officers, petty shopkeepers and shop assistants, domestic workers, and other low-wage workers. The passage best supports the following assertion:
A. The easiest way to measure a country's economic standing is to look at its per capita income.
B. The key criterion for determining a country's economic prosperity is its balance of trade.
C. An increase in exports helps a country's economy.
D. Since the Second World War, English trade has continued to grow.
