It's shocking when you try to really think about it. We have no ground to fully imagine it.
The damage and theft have been compounding all this time. If you even just take things since 1913. Flip that and imagine what the the gains (in real value I mean, not money) might have been, compounding the other way, without malinvestment, theft and all the war and harms they lead to.

I hope our children will get to see that.
