If you are going to look back to the pre-Industrial, pre-Reformation times, China and India were by far the wealthiest regions on the planet. Kingdoms in both these places had 80+ % of the world’s GDP. But I was not comparing it to that. Take a globe. Look at the countries with a Protestant majority. Most of them are right on top. In fact, I’d say you’d be hard-pressed to find one in poverty. It’s just an observation. Do you not notice that too?
woah, not sure what happened in the posting time line here but I didn’t think that post made it through... any way, Poor nations tend to be in the southern hemisphere, is there a “norther work ethic”?
