Do revolutions lead to prosperity?
or
Do we need revolutions for prosperity?
or
Is revolutions one of the factors that determine prosperity?
defn
Revolutions : Overthrowing the governments
Prosperity : Good living standards e.g. literacy and life expectancy.
Scope:
Only last 500 years
I have been thinking of this question for more than a month. I am still not confident about what is the right question to ask and how we can answer the right question.
It might also be a good idea if we limit ourselves to last 500 years so we do not consider anything that happened before that. Otherwise, countries have come up and down through out the history so it might be meaningless to look at last thousand years to answer this question.
I thought about going back and finding all revolutions that happened in the past and finding if revolutions brought better living standards and comparing it to possibility if the revolution did not occur. Other way will be comparing two similar countries: one that overthrew its government and one that did not.
Please refrain from unsubstantiated personal opinions or propaganda.
Unfortunately, currently I do not have sufficient time to study this myself so I thought I would put here.
