GDP starts from genetic intelligence. That is the basic building block. Without it, we have chimp-style hunter-gatherer found-wealth, territorial, genocidal, alpha male, dominance hierarchy. As you can see from so much human activity, we are still largely chimp like with some much more chimp like than others. DNA testing says regular humans are 98.5% chimp and no doubt you are too. My DNA is being tested now by 23andme.com and no doubt it will find I am not actually chimp, but a new form of deity [though my gibbon-like arms, prehensile fingers and furry forearms are suspiciously simian].

When a population has the basic building block of GDP [intelligence in Smart Fraction Theory], the other necessary ingredients might be added - freedom to produce property and own it for individual benefit, capital accumulation over 100 years, cultural adaptation for communication: a lingua franca is essential to enable wide ranging trading and mobility.

But the most basic unit of wealth is intelligence. <They MAKE business ... as opposed to waiting for someone to give them a job.. Isn't that how GDP starts ? > Yes, somebody makes business. But to do that, they have to have the intellectual horsepower to do it. A chimp cannot do it. A 60 IQ person can't ever invent the Theory of Relativity. The Smart Fraction Theory explains that even to open a shop or start a school to teach maths takes a certain level of intelligence which cannot be done without it.
