| What does it mean to be rich? It’s not original to observe that there’s more to life than money. When our data journalists tried to find the world’s richest country, however, they had to first untangle that knotty question. Identifying the country with the most output per person is easy, but a dollar goes further in some places than in others. And are you really prosperous if you have little free time to enjoy your spoils?
They settled on three GDP measures to assess countries. See where yours stands. European countries fill most of the top ten spots, but a lot of the leaders look much less well off after discounting the number of hours their citizens work. As many Europeans lounge by a pool this month on summer holidays, I somehow doubt they’ll mind. |
