World Rankings Economically

[AvHdB]

Below is a link to a rather right side of the political spectrum ranking of a wide variety of different economic metrics. The United States fares poorly not even in the top ten overall. It is enlightening to study the individual facets that make up the report.

I looked at China:

The Chinese economy remains "repressed." The rule of law is vulnerable to political influence and Communist Party directives, and corruption is widespread. The party's leadership group holds ultimate authority and exercises direct control of economic activity. Liberalizing economic reform has either slowed or stopped.

Not much different from the UK in reality. Only the methods differ.
