Hello Ervin,
I do not think that the Bukovina was economically more advantageous
than Galicia. Unless the better relations between the various ethnic
and religious groups in the Bukovina produced a better social climate
for developing industry and commerce.

In Galicia the Polish landowners had for generations oppressed
the Ruthenian peasants and the two major ethnic and religious groups
were hostile to each other. The differences in the measure of wealth
between Polish landlords and Ukrainian peasants were also very large.
For instance: Count Potozki, who's palace is still in the center of
Lviv,
was famous as an immensely rich person while the peasants were very
poor.

In the Bukovina the population included more ethnic and religious groups
and no group had traditionally had the upper hand or ruled over the
others.
