a video below..
... american GDP includes a rental value attributable to a persons own home (
but not in china gdp)
... one night in a hyatt room in NY = $1,100.. hyatt room in shangai = $290 (
both 5star)
... america has more lawyers/accountants etc than china .. all highly paid ..
.... america has highly paid lobbyists .. china has none ..
blah blah..
strip away all of the above, and one ends up with
PRODUCTIVE GDP
(
MMM interesting the number of BRICS countries in the above chart.. including Indonesia )
electricity usage must be indicative of something.. (
and the data is not remotely current)
