How did post-Industrial Revolution Britain and other Western nations including the USA improve the conditions of its industrial workers and remove hunger and poverty? How long did it take to achieve? And can the same path to prosperity and wealth be a model for sustainable economic development in the developing countries of India, China, Latin America and Africa? Is it possible to follow a purely capitalist free-market economy to let that happen or will the space the government vacates be taken over by the mafia, drug lords, extremists and fundamentalists who'll further erode the development with their parallel government and economy? What do you think? Please provide some sources or texts for further reference and discussion.
