Are you truly unaware that the CIA Fact Book and many other sources make those numbers available for the price of a hoogle (hasty google)? Here- watch. It's like **** magic: India's GDP in 1960 was $37.03 billion. Shazam! India's GDP in 2023 was $3.57 trillion, according to Statista. This was an all-time high for the country, and is expected to increase to $6 trillion by the end of the decade. SHAZAM! Mo people mo money - deal with it.

As I said before, you will not (because you cannot) name a single nation whose poverty went UP as their population went up.
In every case, population rise occasions declines in poverty.
So your original **** - the tired "not enough" canard - is utterly refuted.

Now, you're on to other things - though I admit that what those things are gets harder to suss as I continue to challenge your position. Your responses are getting less and less specific, less and less related to the topic, less and less responsive to the evidence which refutes your entire premise. You're not making an argument - you're just bitching from a metaphorical bar stool. 

And let me say further, so long as a single atom can power a city, one bloody well tires of the sophomoric, un-thought-through, unsupportable claptrap about there EVER being "not enough" of ANYTHING UNDER THE SUN. God designed this world to provide for humanity, not to fail humanity. To the degree that ANYTHING is in short supply, including diamonds, there is human machination behind it. 

There's enough. There's always enough. Wake up to THAT much, at least.
By 1960 India's population was greater than ever before and they are dying of starvation by the 10s of millions. India had by then 100s of millions of people by then so if we use your logic they should have been experiencing all time record prosperity.
All animals..[not just people] with have lower birth rates when times are tough. When times are good [like post WW2] we saw the exact opposite happen. The WWII Gen didn't **** their way to prosperity...sorry it happened entirely the other way.

When you look back 40, 50, 60 years in time and compare raw dollar figures it will always look like we are all millionaires now.
The truth is the USA has grown from 200 million in 1970 to almost 350 million today and a smaller percentage of people own  homes outright. I'll bet the same holds true for the cars that they are making payments on well after the car is towed to the wrecking yard.
Those are the true measures of comparative wealth..
Far fewer people than those in 1970 have  pensions too.
