> (in USD) this is your issue right here. it doesn't work that way.

  Yes it does. "Wealth" is global not local, especially in an economy where you import everything.

    > an economy where you import everything. which economy are you referring to? as not even singapore imports everything. if we use USD then most of western europe is either below 2007 (france, spain, italy) or a tiny bit above 2007 (netherlands, belgium). same thing further afield, canada, australia etc. pretty incredible right? if we use USD then most of the western world has not come back from the GFC.

        not really incredible since you're using 2023 when 2023 is not even halfway done. use the last numbers available on the world bank site, which are from 2021. and then you'll notice something incredible. here's a helpful link: https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/NY.GDP.MKTP.CD?locations=FR-GB-AU-NL-ES-IT-CA https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/NY.GDP.MKTP.CD?location... i'm bowing out now, cause it seems this thread leads nowhere. good luck in your future comments!
