- sudosysgen 6y agoThe thesis is about growth, not nominal GDP.
- tzs 6y agoThe numbers in that Tweet are way off, because what it counts as "lawyer" isn't the same thing in all countries. Take Japan, which it says has only 24 lawyers per 100k, compared to 396 per 100k in the US. Japan has several licensed non-lawyer professions that do a lot of work that in the US has to be done by lawyers. In addition, a very large number of people in Japan study law as undergraduates, then go into corporate jobs where they are allowed to handle corporate legal matters that would require a lawyer in the US.
