💡 Small Country Strategy:

America's reality😅

The nominal GDP is the largest in the world, but per capita it is in this state. The reason is:

• The population is overwhelmingly more than 300 million.
• The wealth gap is among the worst in developed countries.
• National debt exceeding $36 trillion (125% of GDP)

In other words, even though it may appear rich on average, the average salary is significantly behind Luxembourg.

🤔 Pitfalls of GDP per Capita

This indicator is an average, so the gap between the rich and the poor is not visible. America is a good example. Nominally it is top-tier, but when considering wealth disparity, a different landscape emerges.
