A country grows until it hits its head on the ceiling.

A country has a growth potential which limited by its own power structures. If the country is very backward, it can grow at a higher rate once its structure changes. China post 1979, Germany and Japan devastated by war. Angola in the past decade post civil war.

Whenever the old structures are destroyed, the potential for economic growth is unleashed. If a country faces the demolition of its own structures, its governing elites reacts by doing the revolution WITHIN before someone do it from the outside or it collapses under its own weight.

Collapsing under its own weight example is the USSR.

Brazil and China facing the collapse of its structures changed by their own to avoid collapse of a revolution that would have destroyed the entrenched elites and its own interests.

Once China and Brazil did the internal revolutions, it ensued a era of high economic growth. China was backward so much that needs half century of accelerated growth to catch up.

Brazil, had been sent back to the line by the Lost Decade, had a growth spur of a decade and not a growth that could be considered stellar.
