Your flawed comparison forgets that the US had a few decades of headstart in the industrial revolution... (Russia at the beginning of XX century was quite underdeveloped, agrarian country, in a semi-colonial dependence)
You also forget about the bloody labour struggle in the US (some examples http://www.osnews.com/permalink?564752 ...Ludlow very alike PoznaĆ '56; Lattimer even had also Polish workers)
And, more generally, the US style of development is unsustainable... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Human_welfare_and_ecological_foot...
