China fell into decline just as the Industrial Revolution
was beginning, setting Europe and one of its derivate
societies, the United States, on the road to global
domination.

But Asia still accounted for the bulk of the world
economy as recently as 1820, according to the Asian
Development Bank. The region reached its low point
around World War II.

But two critical changes reversed the course of history.

First, the war and its aftermath freed the colonised Asian
countries from the grip of the Europeans. And second,
Japan invented a formula for economic catch-up with the
rich white powers. Almost suddenly, the countries of
Asia had political independence and a road map to
economic prosperity.

It took the US more than a century to double its income
per head. It took Japan 30 years. Its first imitator, South
Korea, achieved this in 11 years. China later did it in
nine.
