| Mar 15, 2018 at 15:34 | comment | added | Cdn_Dev | The development of agriculture in various regions strikes me as somewhat analogous. Both are examples of increasing energy intensification. | |
| Mar 15, 2018 at 14:53 | comment | added | user31652 | @MarkC.Wallace Yes, those are good. I’m particularly interested in places that built great infrastructure and buildings (like Dubai today). I also want to understand what happened to them when their source of wealth ran out. | |

| Mar 15, 2018 at 10:05 | comment | added | MCW♦ | Have there ever been nations built on extractive commodities? Silver, gold, guano, whale oil. Easter Island North Africa (Guns Germs & Steel). There is even a name for the phenomena - Dutch Disease Do any of those examples match what you're looking for? if not, can you explain more precisely what it is you want to know? | |

| Mar 15, 2018 at 5:01 | comment | added | user31652 | @FiringSquadWitness Yes, but preferably an industry related to a natural resource. | |
| Mar 15, 2018 at 4:10 | comment | added | FiringSquadWitness | To clarify are you are asking if there is any individual industry that was a major reason for a state gaining significant wealth over their peers without said industry? | |
