source: Our World in Data
Examples:
France in:
- 1400: $1612
- 1500: $1670
- 1600: $1576
- 1700: $1776

99% of countries have this trajectory, ending up the same or +-10% GDP per capita before industrialization.
During the industrial revolution, most countries grew their GDP per capita by 2x, lucky ones grew 3x.
