👉 Megalopolitanism is a concept in political philosophy that refers to a state or nation where its citizens are highly concentrated and self-sufficient, with significant economic and cultural resources. It emphasizes the importance of economic growth and development as key factors for national prosperity. The term was first coined by Robert Aumann, an economist, in his 1978 book "Megalopolis" (The Growth and Industrialization of a Nation), which explores the relationship between economic growth and social inequality.
