OECDs countries use the same stats everywhere
USA ranks 34th on 36 countries
> GDP is important. It's what pays for government services
It depends on what you buy with it and how much of it goes back to society in the form of government services for the public
For rich countries in the G20 it shouldn't matter as much as how you redistribute it
I'll repeat myself, despite the highest GDP in the World USA can't even pay for the citizens' right to not be shot in the streets
What is it good for then?
- refurb 6y agoOECDs countries use the same stats everywhere No they don't. They collect the same stats, but they aren't necessarily comparable.
