By reducing the amount of knowledge that generates income for the state in certain countries a gap is formed between the know-how-haves and know-how-have-nots and is likely to grow exponentially. This is likely to keep the populations in such countries locked in chains of tedious drudgery resulting from stress - the principal tool of knowledge reduction.
Eastern Europe in its vain grasps for economic development have for 20 years been on these tramlines where overwork and poor working conditions (ie union work subdued by the nations needs to be competitive) have caused a constant supply of increased stress for the majorities to the point where it has reflected in stagnant figures for national health and mortality reduction.
A vicious circle of the wider the knowledge gap, the more stress and the more stress the less there is of innovation and economic competitiveness and more need to be competitive by lower costs of labour, therefore more stress.

There could be reasons why the growth of disparity between different levels of knowhow might not be exponential - perhaps technologies could come that level the differences more quickly than the change in disparity grows.
