well of course which is why i brought it up. however there's way to measure something so subjective then and now so its not fact.
US productivity is very high. National productivity is usually measured as the amount of the gross domestic product per individual worker. Countries by Economy (GDP per capita) These international graphs/maps are also interesting. Taxation (total tax wedge/single worker) Military Expenditures (percent of GDP) Military Expenditures (dollars per capita) Most Generous (dollars per capita) Oil Consumption (million barrels per day) Education (literacy)
two things about those charts: i dont see how any country can have 100% literacy like those charts indicate, unless i dont understand what 100% means. the generosity chart does not include private donations. so the worst possible thing is to be high on the chart, since it just money taken from people for forced charity.
