More shallow, maybe; but faster. The U.S. overtook the U.K. in manufacturing in the late 1800's and the rest is history. Lots of similarities while, also, a different geopolitical world now versus then.

Yep... yep... time mostly is sensed "faster" nowadays.

The history of "Africa" is some middle-ground in this sensable aspect... They went "through" this in about a century.
