We're rich
Over at Fistful I note that the recent rise in the euro, pound and krona have made Europeans rich again, at least when measured in US$.More pertinent for this site perhaps is the exchange rates at which European gdp per capitas overtake those in the Great Republic. For the Europeans it's around euro 1 = $1.46, i.e. they are unlikely to get there anytime soon given we're currently at $1.26. But for us Brits we only need £1 = $2.02 (currently $1.88)! And the Swedish only have to get to 7.1 krona to the dollar (currently 7.3).
