Wealth = Assets - Liabilities

 

[Avalonia]

Wealth = Assets - Liabilities

that called as NET asset/wealth

 

[PITA]

Wealth = Assets - Liabilities

Good point, longyi. I wonder how that would play out after debts are figured in considering Japanese and Korean debt compared to Chinese debt.

The last time I checked, personal debt in Korea has become quite an issue.

 

[Pakistanisage]

Wealth = Assets - Liabilities

Equity = Assets - Liabilities


This is called an Accounting equation.

I guess you are just replacing equity with wealth.

I'm not proud, because I'm so poor with low income as well......very different with the report above.

News flash: GDP per capita is no indication of the economic power wielded by a nation, otherwise Luxembourg would be world's #1 economy. To look at the weight of a country's economic influence, PPP is a much better measure.

PPP is measure for indicate real material economy. nominal GDP is still best measure of economic capacity. thus, luxembourg is #1 also in PPP per capita according to WB BTW.

PPP is the overall earning power, but still the government need to consider their own people to feed, hence your budget is coming from the GDP PPP. ie Earning power, eg, how much money a country could spend

But one should also know, a country with big population would also include a big budget. Mean more money to spend on Education, infrastructure, social security, tax rebate. So A country have a large population would have larger spending according to their population size..

Technoically speaking, If a country have a large GDP PPP, that mean they can spend more on their country, abd technically speaking, any country do not have an obligation to spend other ewarning to their own citizens.

So if Chinese government hoard all the money for themselve and decided to not suppliment their own citizens. They can use their PPP value as an indication of their purchasing power.
