The services banks provide stimulate economic growth. Ghavrel Send a noteboard - 15/09/2011 09:40:11 PM
But I believe Praziquantel was using the prevalence of banks as an indicator of wealth, which is generally tied to GDP.

Not the money that belongs to others, but Praziquantel - 15/09/2011 09:53:05 PM 654 Views
Closer to 190 times as many, actually. Ghavrel - 15/09/2011 09:37:53 PM 642 Views
my backyard is bigger than Delaware and has more people in when I have a barbecue random thoughts - 15/09/2011 09:47:20 PM 729 Views
Erm. Nate - 15/09/2011 09:55:08 PM 681 Views
Yeah, I don't see how those two figures are even similar tbh. *NM* Praziquantel - 15/09/2011 10:00:30 PM 243 Views
Still a huge enough difference to make you wonder about that map, though... Legolas - 15/09/2011 10:00:40 PM 682 Views
yeah I was looking at the PPP number which is 259B random thoughts - 15/09/2011 10:08:24 PM 692 Views
That's exactly what it is, yes. *NM* Legolas - 15/09/2011 10:20:56 PM 324 Views
Sudan would definitely be closer. Nate - 15/09/2011 10:21:00 PM 763 Views

Re: yeah I was looking at the PPP number which is 259B Isaac - 15/09/2011 10:22:27 PM 608 Views
There's a flip side to that, too, though. Joel - 16/09/2011 04:31:06 PM 714 Views
I'd rather not have a political debate on the subject Isaac - 16/09/2011 05:51:50 PM 683 Views
I wasn't trying to make it political, honest. Joel - 16/09/2011 08:00:34 PM 653 Views
As Legolas says, that is essentially what PPP GDP is, and why I and others prefer it. Joel - 16/09/2011 03:59:41 PM 891 Views
That's not all that similar! Vivien - 16/09/2011 12:43:10 AM 671 Views
Erm, nevermind. Legolas - 15/09/2011 10:05:13 PM 648 Views
Hmm. Nate - 15/09/2011 10:10:55 PM 737 Views
Yeah, I started out by confusing Delaware with Rhode Island and it went from there. Legolas - 15/09/2011 10:20:09 PM 742 Views
I noticed the edit thing a while back Stephen - 15/09/2011 10:57:01 PM 542 Views
Yeah, think it's pretty much always been that way. Joel - 16/09/2011 08:55:03 PM 610 Views
