Would be interesting to see the overall social balance or GINI for north Korea with reasonable data. A huge proportion of the population has no food and there is a difference between a flatscreen 30" and second hand Chinese 16" TV from the 80s but they mkfhr both appear as 'having a TV' in the statistics, so I would be careful to draw conclusions from this.
- toto444 6y agoI remember reading in Poor Economics by Duflo and Banerjee that poor people having a TV is not uncommon at all. They take the example of a Moroccan family in a rural area. They explain that because that's the only thing there is to do, owning a TV makes a massive difference to your everyday life.
