Is it possible for every country in the world to be highly developed

So still third world?

>what stops poor countries
Poor resource management, overpopulation, irresponsible behavior that developed countries aren't permitted to attempt to improve for fear of racism
>can they be wealthy too
Sure, but they'd need massive changes, with the most problematic usually being population control. Once rich countries get angry enough to ban pajeets, ivans, and pacos from coming over to siphon money back home with them, that will probably be a massive catalyst to force change.

A country with 50% youth unemployment, brutal deflation, economic stagnation for a decade, mafia, corruption in every sphere of life and many villages without electricity?

That's not hard to achieve.

>is it possible for every country in the world to be highly developed and wealthy?
Yes. Capitalism is not zero-sum.

The rise of China more or less corresponds with the fall of Southern Europe's industry, so I believe it's debatable.
