So we all know that GDP is a flawed and shit tier measurement of a country's success, and GDP per capita doesn't fix that. PPP only makes these problems even worse and is basically a completely worthless metric.What is a GOOD measurement? Is "median wealth" a good one?

>>221599799it doesn't really work well there are white skinned countries that are very poor
>>221599778>So we all know that GDP is a flawed and shit tier measurement of a country's successNo it's not.
>>221599778Median PPP adjusted income is the best metric
>>221599778It should be based on median penis size
>>221599778>What is a GOOD measurement?Life expectancy
>>221599778stop committing mcnamara fallacies
>>221599778Human development index
>>221599778GDP per capital actually is a good measurement of a country's success and it only breaks down when you start comparing broadly equal societies on a more minute basis, but in terms of separating "first world" from "third" then GDP works perfectly.
>>221599819The poorest white country is still better than the wealthiest brown or black country
>>221600105India disproves that.
>>221600166
>>221599778The average intelligence of the population. Intelligent people are not usually just born. They have to be made with a good education, food, and a stable home life. Well educated countries usually are the best to live in.
>>221602281honestly, not a terrible metric, but even that can be gamed in similar ways to GDP life in taiwan is NOT better than life in the denmark or the netherlands they simply game the IQ numbers
>>221599778Nominal GDP. There's no good measurement, but that one is the most honest.
>>221602503you know as well as I do that life in mississippi is NOT better than life in london it's total bullshit, an absolutely meaningless measurement. who the fuck knows what it actually means
>>221602479Denmark dwarfs Taiwan in number of nobel laureates
i would rape billie ellish
>>221602517and yet, which has a higher average IQ?
>>221600282>>221600377those are highly correlated with gdp per capita
>>221602520you wouldn't do shit if you were alone in a room with billie ellish naked you'd stand in the corner awkardly
>>221599778>What is a GOOD measurement?Mix per Capita and GINI

>>221599778booba
>>221600106PPP is always garbage, wealth isn't measured by how many potatoes you can buy
>>221600106lol
>>221599778>GDP doesn't count because it makes us latinx look like shit o algo
>>221599778You have to use something like HDI, which is very subjective to measure but actually looks at the availability of important things like infrastructure, hospitals, education outcomes etc.Any metric that only looks at numbers is going to be exploitable. You could have a country with gigantic GDP, but it's got a trillion people -which is hidden by GDP.Or it has 1 million people in poverty and 1 guy who owns all the money - which is hidden by GDP per capita.Or everyone equally has $1 billion each except bread costs $1million - which is still hidden by GDP per Capita with GINI coefficientOr everyone is equally a millionaire and goods are cheap, except there are no roads or advanced medical treatment and people get arrested for not giving handjobs to refugees and people feel if they don't get constant meth supplies they'll promptly kill themselves because they're so miserable.So you have to measure physical infrastructure (eghousing availability), objective life outcomes (eg lifespan, IQ scores) and subjective life outcomes (eg suicide rates and self-reported happiness levels).All this but also PPP with Gini.
>>221599778There isn't a universal measurementGDP isn't accurate because it doesn't count how many people are in the countryGDP per capita doesn't count the cost of livingPPP or BigMacs per salary don't take into account prices of something more complicated than a potato
>>221599778Titty Eyleash
>>221599778https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gini_coefficientthis one is a good one for me.it accounts for stuff like the arabs being filthy rich but having a legion of poor workers under them.

Countries success should be measured in Dodge RAM 1500 Laramie editions per 1000 people
>>221599778Economics is a dark art and best ignored completely when it comes to measuring how much of a shithole a country is.Life expectancy and infant mortality rates on the other hand are both well recorded, objective measures of how much of a shithole a country is. If lots of people are dying young then your country is a terrible place to live.

>>221603027yes it is
>>221599778Good measurements:>median wage adjusted to cost of living>home ownership rate>unemployment rate>immigration rate>marriage and birth rates
>>221600106>poor people points
>>221603858>life expectancy>well recordedThirdies don't report their parents' death so they can collect gibs longer
>>221599778>many needs = poor>few need = richThe only mindset that matters
