But standards of living were not rising for the common worker and there’s a lot of room to improve GDP when you start from a backwards position. We’ve seen the same thing in post colonial economies after world war 2. A 4% growth of 10 is not better than a 2% growth of 1,000.

The fact that Russia was improving in all aspect before the 1917 revolution and went downhill from here, is undeniable…
