Post-Conflict Economic Reconstruction Strategy
After a prolonged civil war, a nation is working with international partners to rebuild its economy. One group of advisors proposes a plan focused on immediate relief: distributing food aid, providing cash transfers to families, and offering vocational training for in-demand jobs.

Based on your understanding of what underpins a functioning economy, evaluate the second advisor's argument. Why might focusing on these foundational structures be more critical for long-term economic prosperity than the immediate relief efforts?
