Have you considered including some economic complexity literature (Hidalgo, Hausmann et al.)? Their research shows how countries tend to develop by moving from making simple products (like copper or oil) to more complex ones (like electronics or planes), based on how similar the required skills and resources are.
Thanks for the reading list.

I didn’t; my focus here is on orienting people towards growth theory, not empirics.
