GDP is a worthless measure of an economy.
Please share your, much more realistic measures!
Heath, environment, education, culture?
I dunno.
Both have interesting cultures. They are different but they both have plenty.
Mississippi touches my state (gross), and all the culture leaves the moment it can to get away from all the people being racist at it.
I'm sure you don't know.
Everyone steer clear of Mr Mississippi over here.
There's a lot of good suggestions, but for a more direct replacement, instead of GDP per capita (which is similar to mean income), I prefer median income. I don't care about the average income (which can be inflated by the ultra-rich), I care about the income of the average citizen.
Unemployment minus underemployment, poverty levels, homelessness level, per capital debt, etc.
Maby one that values happines, health, etc over shareholders profits.. All that Gdp is in the pockets of the rich.
Bhutan's Gross National Happiness.
Oh in Mississippi they certainly think happiness is gross
Murders per capita (giving and receiving).
