Not to set off a braging contest, but WRT the nordic economies, below are some realworld figures for comparison to the above. Which nation's economy, per capita GDP (i.e. most productive per person) is the highest? http://www.odci.gov/cia/publications...order/2004rank . html Luxemburg 1, USA 2 ... Finland 19 Norway 6.. Of the nordic countries, Norway's GDP is 37% ahead of Finland and Sweden according to the latest figures from Nordic Statistical Yearbook 2003. Sort of like watching mice fight. Al Minyard |
