My inner socialist does not expect the current wealth differential of the world to remain constant, and does not expect there to be enough resource on the planet to bring everyone to current English levels, so on the scale of centuries expects to end up at about current Polish levels. I don't think that peasant agriculture is an attractive use of labour at that point.
However, the Gini coefficient of the world seems to be moving upwards if it's moving at all, so the world may end up oversupplied with poor peasants (and, given that the Gini coefficient for land ownership has always been enormous) poor landless peasants.
