@sevves And that's why I used the GDP per capita adjusted by PPP, not the nominal one. If I talked about nominal GDP per capita, your answer about travelling abroad and feeling richer there, would make sense. Since I gave the numbers already adjusted to costs in particular countries, they actually compare situation of a Swiss citizen in Switzerland, a Brit in the UK and a Pole in Poland. OK?
If we compared nominal values, the difference is much stronger. In fact, that was your point, so let me call the numbers NOT adjusted by the purchase power parity: Poland's performance is 12 thousand USD per capita, while Switzerland's - 87 thousand!
Are we already clear, that the first comparison, 58 vs 26 INCLUDES costs of living, which you still complained about, after I gave those numbers? Because if you wanna involve comparisons what one citizen is capable of byuing elsewhere, we jump from the 58 vs 26 ratio to a 87 to 12 ratio. OK?
