Infrastructure is good. Countries and regions with more factories, power supplies, ports, telecommunications and yes, rail lines, tend to be wealthier than those with fewer.
Infrastructure benefits an economy because it facilitates the production of goods and services. Raw materials are received by container ship, manufactured in warehouses that are powered by clean and abundant energy before being transported quickly and efficiently to consumers. This may not sound like much to you and me but to an economist, it’s practically dirty talk.
