Original Note:
This chart is misleading. In 1991-2021, communist China and Vietnam initiated catch-up growth from a low level of GDP per capita, implying high growth rates at first. The western countries had already achieved much higher GDP per capita before and were hence growing slower. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convergence_(economics)
