>"The biggest fact about world economic development in the last two centuries is income divergence--not income convergence as once thought. The high-income countries at the beginning of the 19th century have grown faster than the low-income countries, thus increasing international economic disparities. Western Europe and north America were the high-income regions in 1800 and in 1913 and have increased their lead over most of the world where growth has been much more modest. Only a few countries (notably the southern cone of South America) that were rich at the beginning of the 20th century have fallen into the camp of the poor countries, and only a few countries that were poor in 1800 have joined the prosperous. These include Japan, its former colonies South Korea and Taiwan, and the USSR".

там же очень и объяснено, почему этот прорыв был возможен только после революции
"Was Russian development robust enough to have closed the gap with western Europe if 1917 had not intervened? The possibility cannot be excluded because one country, Japan, did just that. It grew from a Russian income level in 1913 to a west European level in 1989. Japan, however, was unique, and there is little reason to believe that Russia would have been at the top of the world league table rather than in the middle or the bottom. Japanese growth was based on institutional modernisation that exceeded anything imagined by the Tsars."
