Hi dig,

Okay. But I'm sure you take the point. Perhaps I should have used UAE or Kuwait. The thing that distinguishes income has more parts than culture. Natural resources help, for instance.

If you presume GDP per capita is the result only of culture, then there are unfortunate implications of that.

Thinking it is nonsense, I don't have to worry about this.

FWIW ... an Israeli friend of mine once said Israel has a higher per capita GDP than Saudi Arabia, I thought he was bonkers ...

Israel: 30,975 (26th)
Saudi Arabia 24,237 (39th)
