About this episode

The episode discusses GDP and GDP per capita in Spain and the USA, exploring whether Spain can be considered a poor country.

In today's episode, I talk about GDP and GDP per capita in Spain and the USA, and I try to answer the question: Is Spain a poor country? Turns out, it's a bit complicated. We've also got some thoughts on Ireland, on India, on wealth and well-being, and much more.
