@iealondon: 🇺🇸 "Per capita GDP in Mississippi overtook the UK two years ago. So the poorest state in America currently has a higher per capita GDP than Britain. And we're about to overtake Germany per capita GDP growth terms this year." Douglas Carswell explains why America's poorest state is now richer than entire European nations.

I’m not taking Europeans seriously anymore because the superiority complex is backed by raggedy impoverishment.

Yes, but Mississippi has no social programs, crumbling infrastructure, severe environmental health issues, high infant mortality rate, and a standard of living far FAR below Germany.

That doesn’t mean anything. MS has a bunch of non union factories and factory farms. That means they produce a lot of value. None of it stays in the state, not in wages, or final processing, or recouped and redistributed by low tax government.

Mississippi is a far more desirable place to live than anywhere in Europe.

High gdp with low average quality of life just means the common folk are being robbed

this did not make me feel better about Mississippi. It makes me worry about Britian.

Mississippi is much more than what people think. And the Mississippians that don’t think so, probably would live a very boring life anywhere else in the world as well

I'm from Mississippi, and I guarantee you'd rather live in Germany or the UK. 🤷

GDP and GDP per capita are poor measurements for developed countries. HDI, poverty level, etc...are better form of measurement. Germany citizens live longer and retire a decade earlier than people from Mississippi

Except that stat includes “if London was removed” which it isn’t so it doesn’t have a lower GDP per capita

Mississippi has great food and people. Parts of the state are wonderful and part is to be avoided. Low cost of living.

Per capita is not a legitimate measure because the insanely rich skew the figure
