    Hi

    Good eye! You're right. There isn't supposed to be an '-s' on "economic proserity", as Ronbee nicely pointed out:

    Moreover, tdol, too, points out that the noun economic takes an '-s' (e.g. economics) whereas the adjective does not (e.g. economic prosperity).

    economics prosperity is incorrect, as Mike adds.

    All the best,

    Default Sorry

    I am very sorry that I had made a typo error on 'economics'. There's no 's' at the end.

    No apology is necessary. We didn't know that it was only a typo. No harm done. :wink:
