Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The industrial revolution in the early 19th century marked the beginning of sustained long-run economic growth in a few countries, such as the UK, Germany, and the US. Prior to that, there were periods of growth and decline, but no country was able to sustain economic growth over the long term. Option A is incorrect because not all countries were able to establish periods of high levels of real GDP per capita. Option B is incorrect because even if some countries were able to establish a few decades of high levels of real GDP per capita, it was not sustained over the long run. Option D is incorrect because there is no historical evidence that supports the claim that all countries will eventually return to very low levels of real GDP per capita.
