whats a gdp?

gross domestic product.
average wage in the country

Don't forget to factor in cost of living.

Per-Capita GDP and average wage are not the same

GDP = The total market value of all the goods and services produced within the borders of a nation during a specified period so per capita would be per individual or group.

It is a measure of what is produced, not earned.

these are inaccurate because all countries measure GDP differently...very difficult to comepare standards of living....

The chart was also compiled when the dollar was a lot stronger. The figures would be a lot different now if using it to compare the US against other countries :glugglug

As has been said though it means little and there's so many other factors to take into account.

Anyone know how foreign debt works?

USA 3.7 trillion
Australia $362 billion
China $220.1 billion
Canada $203 billion
Russia $132 billion

How the hell does that work? Who do these countries owe money to?

I'm never getting my money back from these bums. :(

:1orglaugh OK, nobody knows? :(

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Ok....
