ABSTRACT
This chapter offers insights on economic investment policymaking in the use of the asset/productive base of an economy and demonstrates how students of economics and sustainable development can learn from playing games through scenario role-playing. It provides some insights on the use of Inclusive Wealth Index (IWI) in policymaking and the various factors that should be taken into account when making investment decisions on the use of a country's productive base. The chapter highlights the strengths of using games as a learning pedagogy for students of economics and sustainability. It examines some insights on some preliminary results emerging from the game developed for the IWI followed by ideas for future work to be done. The chapter presents a game that helps operationalize IWI for policymaking. Some of the results from IW reports have shown conclusively how countries can move from being sustainable when computed in absolute terms and become unstainable when population growth is factored in the computation.
