Egypt's per capita income grew over 20x from 1965 to 2015. And consider the population increase that happened over the same period. The overall GDP (constant US dollars) grew from $5B to around $335B.

Don't give me that "They can't do it" nonsense.

It's a water-scarce country that is the seventh largest food importer; much of the population lives in the Nile delta.

Swedes have a huge country and increased from a very small population to a relatively small population.

The resource constraints are different; you can't have infinite growth in every country.
