        That covers recent history. What about Egypt, or the Roman Empire?

        You didn’t mean increase in quality of life for everyone in the world, just for the people under that government?

        There’s a lot of candidates in “human history”.

        I’m pretty sure there was no comparative research involved in your assessment, but you might look at Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quality_of_life but there’s no mention of China there at all.

        Probably because Wikipedia is orientalist and just a Western megaphone. But you quoted them, so maybe not.

          I see. You’re just wasting our time playing knee-jerk contrarian.
