What exactly you measure when you measure "amount of people X by almost X trillion dollars"? How did you manage to arrive at a number that supposedly means productivity of individual employees?
- ExoticPearTree 3y agoI compared the whole of the EU with the whole of the US in terms of people and GDP and it the numbers say the US is performing better than the EU with a third less people. I'm measuring the success of the US economic model with the EU economic model and the US one is winning by a lot.
- capableweb 3y agoSo you mean that GDP is a measurement of the productivity of employees? And you're measuring "success" of a economic model just based on how it increases GDP? What about lowly things like "life expectancy" or other things related to, you know, actual human lives? I knew USAians were "corporate and financials"-horny but this takes it to a whole other level.
