  1. Also consider that northern regions generally built cultures around scarcity of resources, which caused wealth to be more strongly tied to ingenuity and hard work to make new resources rather than just corralling existing resources. The "Curse of Natural Resources" puts the resources primarily in the hands of those who can take rather than those who can make, and taker economies are always weaker than maker economies, since economics is not a zero-sum game.
