minus-squareTempermentalAnomaly@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·2 days agoYou’re confusing nominal us dollars and adjusting for price and inflation, or what the OECD calls Purchasing Power Parity (PPP). This is what the article uses and is more meaningful than nominal gdp per capita. Here’s another source. Also uses the OECD’s PPP.
