We actually got more people from Sweden during the same time period then from Norway sent a higher % .. which is the size of new Mexico ...
So to praise Norway as becoming one of the most prosperous countries is not really True for that time period and that took like 60-to 70 years to make the transition

More time machine reasoning comparing today with something that happened over 100 years ago.. So lets go back to the roman days i am sure we could find an event that you could use as well

it is true that today ...Norway it is ranked 1st
on the Legatum Prosperity Index 2017 and the USA 18th

Yes, as the article implied, Norway was a sh*thole at that time. Shipping out its poor unskilled allowed it to gradually get out of the hole and rise to prosperity. From sh*thole to #1 in 60 years is not an easy task. Know any other countries that have done that. And, along the way there was a constant rise to get there. Norway didn't, nor has anyone else risen from the bottom to the top immediately.

Historians make such comparisons all the time. What is your time limit for searching the past for how political and human actions affect society?
