> The idea that the poorest countries ( like CAR ) is going to lead the world is unrealistic barring some apocalyptic event in the US, Europe, East Asia, Middle East.

That's not at all what I said.

What I meant was that Sweden (and every developed country) improved in one generation from where CAR is today to where Sweden is today.

CAR is currently improving faster than Sweden ever did, so it's probably that in one generation CAR will be where Sweden is today.

Of course, Sweden will probably improve in that same generation.
