You are right, I think I forgot a couple more 0s.
India has a space program ... and India has people living off the land like they lived 6000 years ago.
And then you calculate and realize that in fact that, first, India could have the same standard. They have the money to do that. It is possible. Second, actually doing that would be the best thing that could possibly happen to the Indian economy. Hell, you could slowly implement this over 20-30 years and that would later be described as "creating a golden age".
In other words, Indian poor are kept poor to maximize the difference between the rich and the poor. If the poor were simply given money, one would expect that to 100x the wealth of rich Indians. And they're NOT doing it.
... and as bad as that is, then you look at Pakistan. WTF.
People are an important component of growth. Japan is facing aging population negatively impacting their GDP.
What is greed for you? Building companies in the hope of becoming millionaire? If yes, then all the big economies have followed this path. Even China and Japan were greedy in that sense.
They do have robust social safety nets and a culture of civic mindnedness which improves quality of life over many other capitalist countries (particularly the US) but also "black companies" and salarymen working themselves to death.
Any examples ?
One million is hyperbole, but Japan's more advanced economy and lower population vs India's less advanced economy and higher population is a strange comparison in some ways. The single number doesn't tell the whole story.
