>I disagree, most of the countries with booming populations are rather poor and don’t do much innovation or research.
That's for different historical reasons than their booming populations. They are still very dynamic economic wise, but have to start from a very low bar.
But any country that was ever important had tons of people. Franch and UK and Germany were hugely important globally when they were among the top-5 most populous countries in the world (that was the case back in 19th century). Then the US took that role, and had a good run.
