<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Jerry Clower the great American
philosopher noted that in the 70s<br>
he was asked to pay a dollar and twenty-five cents for a slice of
cantaloupe.<br>
As a boy in Mississippi he had fed "landslide loads" of
cantaloupes to the hogs<br>
(just to get shed of so much cantaloupe) and he could have<br>
sent vast amounts of cantaloupes to NYC if he had know it was<br>
going for $1.25 a slice.<br>

<pre wrap="">It's important to note that according to one credible data set, China in
1969 had a per capita GDP (in 2010 dollars) of $193, almost the lowest in
the world, except for Cambodia, Mozambique, and Djibouti (the latter $17
!!). By 2014, their per capita GDP (again 2010 dollars) was $6,000, a
multiple of about 30 (that is, doubling almost 5 times) over 45 years.
Nothing else like it, obviously in terms of rapid development, although S.
Korea & Taiwan grew by multiples of 10 to over $20,000. I assume that the
cultural revolution had something to do with the low baseline in 1969,
nevertheless...

Over-optimistic? Yet impressive in its comprehensiveness.
