Look at median, and not mean GDP per capita
It's hard to take this seriously when the author mixes up the basic meaning of GDP.> For example, when economists think about how “the economy” is doing, they have traditionally focused on total income (GDP) or per-capita income (mean GDP) as the most important measure.No, they don't. GDP isn't income at all, they're completely different metrics.And in fact the article never mentions "median GDP" like the posted title suggests, it switches to "median income" because median GDP isn't even a thing that you can calculate since it's not a metric that exists for each individual person (therefore no median).How did this get to the front page?
