Exponential growth, indeed economic growth at all, started with the industrial revolution. For instance, many places in Eurasia had the same GDP in 500 that they had in 1400.

Nope. The industrial revolution was a phase change in how economies operated and how wealth was distributed, but if you chart back thousands of years you get the same exponential trends.
