It's probably worth noting that the US also currently has the highest GDP of any country in history. While our debt is catastrophically high, we also produce more per person than any nation our size.
- halo 17y agoIt's difficult to judge. The US has the highest GDP, but it's also the largest western country in terms of population, which makes direct comparison difficult. It does not have the highest GDP per capita (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_%28nominal%29_per_capita http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_%28nom... and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_%28PPP%29_per_capita http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_%28PPP...).
