History shows that when an economy reaches it's heights it starts declining. Such decline starts to be observed (in economic terms) by less growth, more debt, and higher unemployment. However, this is not to say that decline is immediate. It becomes more and more difficult to keep in line with current requirements of sustainability. Often increasing complexities of the system and it's interrelationships with other components such as the industry, markets (national and international), and modes of governance increase the vulnerability of the economic model which must acquire more flexibility. If this flexibility is attainable in the long run, then can we say that economic prosperity is sustainable?
