You’re assuming of course that Scotland would make the same taxation and public spending choices that the UK does, which it may not. Fiscal constraints reduce the ability of Scotland to make investment choices that suit Scotland and encourage investment in Scotland - not the rest of the UK.

Prior to the creation of the Union, in comparison to the major nations of Europe, Scotland was exactly that - or at least the early 18th century equivalent of it. This is history, not hysteria.
The rest of your post is waffle dressed up in technical language to disguise its lack of substance.
