Hong Kong, Switzerland, Japan, Singapore, Lichtenstein, Andorra, Belgium etc.... All rich, all comparitively resource-poor. Economic freedom, trade and social stability have much more to do with prosperity than resources.

But Russia, which has more resources, remains poor. Thinking like that is what makes liberals so dangerous to the economy.
