Abstract
That prosperity is unevenly distributed between countries and within them is a fact of life. Climate, mineral resources, ease of communication, fertility of soil, the productivity of working populations: fair or otherwise, certain geographic regions are better endowed with these things than others. As a result, at any time some countries, or regions within them, will be growing more rapidly than the rest; some may even be experiencing growth while populations elsewhere are experiencing economic decline.
