That’s a sweeping comparison. I’ve visited both and my take would be that Europeans have a higher standard of living than Americans. But that’s just a hunch, I’d be interested to see a breakdown by specific metric and class.
- AlchemistCamp 4y agoI'd take data over an anecdote or hunch. Specific breakdowns are harder to find, but top of line numbers are pretty easy to find in a minute on Google: https://datacommons.org/tools/timeline#place=country%2FUSA%2Ccountry%2FDEU%2Ccountry%2FFRA%2Ccountry%2FGBR&statsVar=Amount_EconomicActivity_GrossDomesticProduction_Nominal_PerCapita https://datacommons.org/tools/timeline#place=country%2FUSA%2...
- Biologist123 4y agoI’m not sure GDP is a reliable national wealth indicator in countries with very high levels of inequality and cost of living. Certainly not as a comparator. Plenty to google on that too. This isn’t a criticism of your point - more that we need a better set or metrics to evaluate “wealth”.
