Rich and Poorest Contrasts of 2022

 Tuesday 02 August 2022

According to World Financial Reports, these are the best four countries to note: rich but also egalitarian. - Insplash

To know where a country stands financially, it is not enough to figure out its GDP.

Gross domestic product is the sum of all the services and goods that a country produces in a year. The countries with the highest GDP are USA, China, Japan and Germany. However, countries like Singapore and Luxembourg, which are tiny dots on the map, would stand nowhere if GDP were the only measure of wealth.

GDP also does not take into account the distribution of wealth. Therefore, a more accurate way of doing the assessment is to divide the GDP by the country's population i.e. GDP per capita.

However, this type of measurement has its own problems. Income can buy much less in one country than in another. Therefore, it is also important to decide how much a country's residents can buy with their income. GDP has to be adjusted for purchasing power parity of the country. Inflation is also taken into account.

Global Finance reports that it is better for countries to be not only rich but also equal because economic inequality ultimately affects countries equally and hinders development.

With these in mind, the following are the 10 richest countries in the world:

1. Luxembourg


2. Singapore


3. Ireland


4. Diameter


5. Macau SAR


6. Switzerland


7. United Arab Emirates


8. Norway


9. United States


10. Brunei Darussalam

According to the same Messrs., the purest countries in the world are as follows:

1. Liberia


2. Madagascar


3. Chad


4. Malawi


5. Mozambique


6. Niger


7. Somalia


8. Democratic Republic of the Congo


9. Central African Republic


10. South Sudan


11. Burundi

Afghanistan, Lebanon, Sierra Leone and Ukraine were included in the list of poor countries.

Why the GOP will 'investigate' the Jan. 6 committee's investigation

In an effort to sound intimidating to Trump supporters, Kevin McCarthy's letter to the committee is chock full of empty threats. By Hayes Brown, MSNBC Opinion Columnist Rep. Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif. has a message for House committees on Jan. 6: Keep doing what you're doing — because we're watching you. McCarthy made that conclusion in a letter to the committee on Thursday, in which the incoming Republican majority vowed to undo all the work the panel had done over the past year and a half. Like McCarthy's other campaign stunts to win over his far-right members ahead of next month's new Congress, there is absolutely nothing to this warning. All this performance is to show Republican hardliners that they will be tough on Democrats in defense of former President Donald Trump. So, no matter what the committee's final January 6th report says, McCarthy and the GOP will have to stand firm against it. In his letter, McCarthy reminded committee chair Benny Thompson, D-Mi...
