Then that's PPP. There's also HDI, accessibility to goods/services, stability, etc. etc., if you really wanna be precise about SOL, but to keep it simple, GDP/capita and PPP will suffice. |

Well you said "matters more than" so I thought that you meant Standard of Living? |

No... I was comparing countries, not people within those countries. |

I don't believe GDP is more important than GDP per capita. The GDP of Sudan is higher than the GDP of Luxembourgh, but I'm sure Luxembourgh is a lot more important than Sudan. |

PPP is impossible to calculate correctly. I don't believe economists go around Mexico asking landladies how much they charge for their apartments, or walk around corner tiendas asking the shopkeepers how much they charge for a bag of chips, a soda, or some marshmallows. |

Okay, maybe Max didn't explain himself well enough... But, seriously, do you really think Sudan is superior to Luxembourg (economically) because of having a higher GDP? |

I don't really know, Ivan, but I wasn't talking about economic importance. Sudan is a lot more important than Luxembourg. I mean, a genocide was committed there! What's ever happened in Luxembourg? |

Well from that point of view, I have to agree with you. However, economically, I believe GDP per capita is much more important than GDP. |

The Sudanese need all their money to buy food at the local market. The people from Luxembourgh have enough money to buy 2 houses abroad per family, buy chocolates from Belgium, champagne from France, Ferraris from Italy and so on. Luxembourgh is the home country of a few very big banks and the transport company CargoLux. Luxembourgh has a lot indirect influence through the BeNeLux and the EU. |

"There are strange things done in the midnight sun, by the men who moil for gold; the arctic trails have their secret tales that'd make your blood run cold... the Northern Lights have seen queer sights, but the queerest they ever did see... was that night on the marge of Lake LeBarge, that I cremated Sam McGee." - Robert W.
