I googled some numbers for human development index, as the most developed/popular/reliable, and have following findings:
- there is strong correlation between index and EU countries GDP per capita: countries with high GDP are at the top, and countries with low GDP are at the bottom
- US index is higher than combined EU index, some EU countries with high GDP top US
- wing-_-nuts 1y agoI mean HDI includes GDP / capita as one of it's primary measures, so yes, the US does well if you double count the one metric where it outperforms Europe...
- riku_iki 1y agoPer wikipedia, it has per capita income, but not GDP.
- wing-_-nuts 1y agoOk, does it make a difference? You're still double counting
- riku_iki 1y agoDifference is that personal income is absolutely direct metric for well being, unlike GDP. Not sure how its double counting.
