In 2002 a book was published that provided a direct correlation between intelligence as measured by IQ scores and economic success in the world. It was called "IQ and the wealth of nations". They found some exceptions like oil rich nations where average IQ was not high and nations like Belarus where the average IQ is high but the country by comparison was poor.
Overall they found an 82% correlation between per capita GDP and intelligence.
