"Inasmuch as ye shall keep the commandments of God ye shall prosper in the land." How many times is this quoted in the Book of Mormon? I don't know, but it's plenty more than two. And given the various contexts it is stated in, this definitely includes (but is not at all limited to) economic prosperity.
Interestingly, it also just happens that:
"There is a law, irrevocably decreed in heaven before the foundations of this world, upon which all blessings are predicated—
"And when we obtain any blessing from God, it is by obedience to that law upon which it is predicated." D&C 130:20-21
Could it be that keeping the commandments of God harmonizes with the natural laws of prosperity? That as we learn and follow said laws that bring us prosperity, we will be more greatly enabled to keep God's commandments?
I believe yes. I'm also very tired, so that's about all I'm writing on the topic. :)
