Argentina GDP outpaced global average in 1955

Branko Milanovic examines Argentina's GDP per capita compared to the global average, using purchasing power parity measures. Argentina's income reached a peak in 1955, standing 70 percent higher than the world average.

According to Milanovic, the country's GDP per capita is now just slightly below the average for the world.

Milanovic has previously questioned whether China’s low consumption is linked to higher savings rates among the nation’s urban elite, citing macroeconomic data in a recent analysis. In another article, he observed that Western media often call for China to implement higher wages and increased social transfers to address domestic challenges, according to his review of financial press coverage. These discussions provide context for his ongoing focus on comparative income trends.
