[@spqr950]

@@flopunkt3665 Ah, not the same history period. Large scale migration from Europe to the US ended by the era of Victoria, when Soviet Union was still Russia Empire. And these eastern European countries, some of them were former soviet members and the others were vassals of soviet after wwii. these countries were either destoried in wwi or wwii, and some also had pressure from mighty soviet union so they could only choose socialism. they were set into soviet economic system and forced to only produce a few kinds of products. thus only the soviet union could have all the goods and these countries could only be poor under the oppress of soviet union. so by the time these countries chose socialism, the other half of europe was quite rich. and these countries failed not because they were socialism or you cannot explain china nowadays, it was because they were vassal states and could only serve soviet union that made them poor.

[@yisun-sin5780]

@@spqr950 I am not defending socialism but that is not exactly as it was. Lets take for example Bulgaria, Romania etc, if you check some of the statistics kzbin.info/www/bejne/f5uynJykrb2XldU this is just an example, you will see that the soviet countries were top producers of certain resources. After they became democratic most of those countries disappeared from these statistics, just look the change after 1990 . Yes the people were poor but they were able to use services and goods for free, whilst in the West people were paying handsome money amounts for those services. Its a double edged sword and there are pluses and minuses on everything. Neither the socialism nor the capitalism are perfect systems.

So although we are quite hard working and rich and fairly egalitarian here, we also need to be. Life is harder here.

Of course they have other issues there but I still say that the baseline costs are much lower in tropical places so less $ are needed per person

[@unterplaink1526]

Well, kind of. Tropical countries usually have problems with diseases and there's also the need not to insulate, but to refrigerate.

to be honest your GDP per capita and wealth distribution were pretty rubbish compare to most European countries so I don't know why you've suddenly taken it upon yourself to boast about your country

[@mike.mentzers_top_guy]

@@judedolan6220 EU is just a union of multiple countries, USA is just one country, and no its wealth distribution is not bad, an average US citizen has much more money than a citizen living in an European country so your comment is nonsense, and when we compare just ONE european country to US. European countries will always lose in almost everything we are comparing to thats why you compare an entire continent to one country and you still can't win, loser.

Income inequality should be considered a good thing, as defined here. This would indicate opportunity, high inequality means that those who are capable of making money have the proper environment to do so.

[@shauncameron8390]

Exactly.

[@ddwkc]

Nope. I'd say income equality may not indicate a good economy, but a horrendous income inequality is detrimental for the population and may cause maladies that affect opportunity. Most countries with high income inequality have pretty piss poor economy stability. Even Brazil and South Africa squanders their potential economy with their grossly high inequality. I'd say inequality may be more of a symptom of systemic problems. However, it does nothing in help with opportunity. Some countries with lower inequality rank high in terms of economic opportunity or easy to make business although I don't think income equality has a correlation with these factors as well. It is just a reflection of how income is distributed than a real economy indicator related to growth or opportunity of making money.

[@user-cx2bk6pm2f]

@@ddwkc Point 1 If there's no money to be made, why would talented people go there? Answer..they wouldn't. Point 2 Don't confuse the effect of corruption and dysfunction with inequality.

[@ddwkc]

@@user-cx2bk6pm2f Point 1? There is money to be made in countries with low inequality. People of talent go to these countries too. Opportunity to make money isn't linked with income equality or inequality. USA has high inequality, but attract lot of business. Still USA would be mid range in the inequality scale. Inequality is more of a symptom of systemic problems while equality may be results of social policies and reforms which may not affect business opportunity (like in Nordic nations) or may do affect negatively (like in some of the Balkan nations). Those who are capable of making money need proper environment/policies to do it. Just check the ranking of ease of making business. Most of the top 10 have low inequality. Still I'd not correlate income equality with business opportunity like you doing trying to equate it with high inequality without proper examples. Point 2. People point out corruption, but most places are corrupt as fuck. The difference is more the lack of proper institutions to tone down the negative effects of corruption. Lot of African and Latin American nations severely lack in this aspect. That's why they are dysfunctional and corruption is rampant. Inequality is just one of the symptoms of this problem. Japan and South Korea are corrupt as fuck, but they have solid institutions to counter act it and function properly and can manage a somewhat decent score in GINI compared to other Asian counterparts. You are the one making this confusion.

[@toniferic-tech8733]

No, not necessarily. Income inequality nowadays is caused by money printing. When new money is printed excessively, the new money mostly goes to the richest. This is described as the Cantillion Effect.

None of these parameters indicate wealth. You should take into account the percentage of population that has its own real estate, average salary and pensions, size of foreign investments (per capita?), international credit rating, external debt, size of population's savings in the banks, etc. Then there would be some sense in judging different countries and their "wealth".
