I don’t think that’s particularly consistent with Japanese history, North America, Latin America, and the How Asia Works cases

It is consistent with the How Asia Works cases - Japan, Taiwan, and Korea are all small relative to China. North America is just three big countries (unless you count Central America), but it mostly started out developed.

I mean, South Korea and Japan are /relatively/ small, but I’m not sure why relative size would matter. Further, you have a lot of false positives: Japan was bigger than Malaysia/Thailand/the Philippines, which (iirc, I read it years ago) Studwell singles out as flawed examples.

Oh, I didn't say small was sufficient for a country to develop early. Just that it helps. Big difference.

This discussion is sort of confusing smallish (relatively) societies like Taiwan, with city states, which are a different kind of society in many ways.
