Other Western nations are also behind the US in terms of GDP per capita but not as much as China.
Japan is about $39,000, Germany is $41,000, France is like $37,000.
But Poland which is part of the EU is $12,000 as well. Russia is like $9000 per capita.

- yorwba 8y agoI found a report by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce’s Global Innovation Policy Center rating different countries' intellectual property policies: http://globalipcenter.wpengine.com//wp-content/uploads/2018/02/GIPC_IP_Index_2018.pdf http://globalipcenter.wpengine.com//wp-content/uploads/2018/... For all I know the numbers are totally made up, but they rate Russia at 17.29, China at 19.08, Poland at 26.56, Japan at 34.58, Germany at 36.54, France at 36.74 and the US at 37.98. Obviously the relationship to GDP per capita isn't monotonic, but some correlation appears to be there.
