zzzz Posted September 4, 2006 Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 https://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/rankorder/2187rank.html Are you saying Haiti is "richer" than USA because of higher "account balance"? Nonsense. GDP is a better indicator of what a country is worth. https://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/rankorder/2001rank.html What surprised me is Haiti ranks above Jamaica in GDP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WorldFun Posted September 4, 2006 Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 so bank balance means nothing only current salary? if bill gates quit his job he'd escalate to the buttom of the list instantly? anyways as I think the population isn't factored in, so high population countries have an unfair advantage?

zzzz Posted September 4, 2006 Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 It starts to make sense if you look at GDP per capita; then Haiti is about half the worth of Jamaica. You can't compare apples and oranges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
