partly yes, it's managing strategically their move to the city/middle class to a) avoid starvation and b) keeping an healthy supply of fresh internal market

not that I condone the various atrocities and general suffering happening there, but yes from the economical point of view that's why and that also makes sense, as cruel as it might be.

you simply cannot "industrial revoluzionize" a country that big as England did in the 1800. they maybe can do more and faster, but that's very hard to model.

Sure you can and they are are much faster rate. England had growthof 1.3% during the industrial recolution. That was rapid growth back then. China has been doing 10% for many years.

So what England did is not impressive by todays standard. Event the most backwards developing countries today can achieve that growth rate.
