Intends to produce wealth (5)
I believe the answer is:
means
I believe this is a double definition.
'intends' is the first definition.
('mean' can be a synonym of 'intend')
'wealth' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)
'to produce' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for means that I've seen before include "considerable income" , "Pecuniary resources" , "With which an end is achieved" , "Method - financial resources" , "sufficient funds" .)
