As a physicist, I think this is sort of an interesting way to look at economies and economic development. As a blogger, though, I think it confirms a pretty banal point: that regions of the world without diverse or fungible resources don't tend to have strong economies.
Alright, Mr. Physics, in looking at economies with this perspective, where are the black holes, dark matter, dark energy, event horizons, alternate universes and assorted things-physical but not well understood?
