The Great Divergence

I agree with the Ted talk completely because I think his six reasons were very simple, obvious, and bery true. I believe that the power and wealth of the world has everything to do with technological and medical advancement, as well as property rights, consumer society, work ethic, and competition. I believe the more advanced you are and the more understanding a nation has of the workd the more they can advance further and become wealthier with new innovations,which of course fuels consumer need and provides a need for job and promotes work ethic so people have money to buy these new things. As an answer to his final three questions I believe it is extremely possible to delete these apps as easy as it is to gain them. An example is definitely Americas work ethic because the American public expects things to be handed to them and have no drive to have q better life like poorer countries. As for China and Africa I am unsure if the sequence can be mixed up I believe it could be but then again it would be difficult to produce consumer society if there are no innovations to sell and no jobs or property rights.
