Economic growth refers to a rise in the amount of goods and services produced in a nation. It is typically measured by the GDP. The main 4 factors that determine GDP include human resources (labour), natural resources (like land, minerals, climate, water), supply of capital goods( these refer to the tools, machines used by labour to work and improve productivity) and lastly the technology. We can have higher degrees of each and have greater classification among these factors, but no production is possible without them even when we consider a single person Robinson Crusoe type  economy humans need to work as labour to gather food. He needs stones/ tools  to pluck fruits from trees. The technology involved is the angle at which the stone must be thrown to ensure that the fruit drops on the ground. So we can see that these 4 factors are essential in any economy.
