With the exception of Japan, Hong Kong, and Singapore, seventeen nations were founded and governed by white Christian people. The other three, Japan, Hong and Singapore, are heavily influenced and financed by the top seventeen nations.
Now take a look at the least prosperous nations. All of those nations are rich in natural resources. The people have the same 24 hours a day to advance their standard of living as the white Christian nations. What's the difference? Are white people smarter? I don't think so.
The answer has been hiding in plain sight for centuries in the pages of the Christian Bible. Countries founded and governed by Christian principles prosper because the God of Christians made an unconditional promise to bless all the works of their hands.
"And He will love you and bless you and multiply you; He
will also bless the fruit of your womb and the fruit of your land, your
grain and your new wine and your oil, the increase of your cattle and
the offspring of your flock, in the land of which He swore to your fathers to give you. You shall be blessed above all peoples"...
~Deuteronomy 7:13-15
The ignorant and unlearned will say that promise was made to the Jews because Abraham was a "jew". However, look at other promises God made to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and see if it applies to Jews.
"And the Lord said, Shall I hide from Abraham what I am doing, since Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him? For I have known him, in order that he may command his children and his household after him, that they keep the way of the Lord, to do righteousness and justice, that the Lord may bring to Abraham what He has spoken to him.” ~Genesis 18:17-19

"Also God said to him: “I am God Almighty. Be fruitful and multiply; a nation and a company of nations shall proceed from you, and kings shall come from your body."
~Genesis 35:11
Are the Jews a great nation and a company of nations? Do the Jews have a royal family? Look at the list of the top seventeen nations and see how they match up with Scripture. It is quite obvious that people who follow Christ are better off than those who don't.
Without the promises God made to Jacob/Israel, and his descendants, there would be no Christianity. And without Christianity there would be no Western civilization.
