No, Americans don’t live in the world’s richest country

This shows how even left wing American writers are imbued with Americans’ reflexive narcissistic nationalism. If you’re American, note that Norway, Switzerland, Iceland, Qatar, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg are all wealthier by GDP per capita. Add back the balloon payments of university tuition and healthcare costs that Danes, Swedes, Finns, Dutch and Singaporeans don’t have to pay to their GDP per capita, and they’re all wealthier than Americans. Add back the much longer vacations and paid sick leave that the Germans, French, Belgians and Irish get by law and they’re wealthier too. Want to get a true valuation of your country’s wealth and worth after weighing its COVID19 response, think of it as a tradeable asset in a free market. Who would buy into the USA and sell shares in Norway, Finland, Taiwan, Singapore, New Zealand and Denmark in exchange for a share of the USA? Any takers? Didn’t think so.
