How does your state match up against the world?

I'd threaten to burn Baltimore, but I don't feel like doing you any favours...

GDP also overlooks "the value of leisure or a good environment" or the way prosperity is spread across a society.

Exactly, Europeans work shorter hours and have more vacation time. That counts for something doesn't it? I doubt that hourly productivity is that different...

[KrazyHorse]

European productivity averages ~105-110% of US productivity.

Not that surprising. Diminishing returns and all that.

I really do wish you'd consider burning down Baltimore, though...

They already tried, in 1904.

It didn't take.

America/ROW circlejerk bashings are soooo 2003.

Not to mention the Star Wars vs. Episode IV "debate".

Damn...

America/ROW circlejerk bashings are soooo 2003.

It wasn't meant to be ROW bashing; it was supposed to be a celebration of how completely ****ing awesome America is. I can't control the rabble, however, and if you can't beat them, you might as well join them...

Where does India fit into all this ( in terms of GDP , of course , not per capita ) ?

[Kuciwalker]

India's 4th, between the US, China, and Japan.
