A country that only produces essential items (food, shelter) for its population is a very poor country.
Almost by definition, a wealthy country predominantly produces and consumes non-essential goods and services.
It gets really difficult to argue which non-essential goods are worthwhile. Is the art on the wall worth more than the stone lintel? Is it good art? Is it a second hand lintel?
