Think about the absolute not the per capita. Think about inflated countries and deflated countries. If a country produced a million of something at 1 dollar/unit. It produces 1 million dollar. Say this is the sole product of the country. Its GDP is 1million dollars. it has only 100 people, it's per capita is: 10.000 dollars If another country produces 10 million the something, at 00.1 dollar/unit, its GDP is 10.000 dollars. it has 10.000 people, it's per capita is: 1 dollar. See, there are inflated countries and deflated countries. Now if country in the first example disappeared tomorrow morning, no one even noticed, the second is too important to the world's economy and would wreak havoc. You're a lucky guy. A product of WWII set of circumstances. Those cirucmstances have long disappeared. It is akin to keep Q knwoing that the mobile cycle has gone. The worrying thing for you is that the DNA you'll leave behind would be that lucky. WHY? Because you didn't move to Brazil so that you descendants would continue enjoying the demographic window's results.
