    Look anywhere else other than the article and you’ll see that’s not true

    GDP per capita =! GDP per capita PPP

      You’re confusing nominal us dollars and adjusting for price and inflation, or what the OECD calls Purchasing Power Parity (PPP). This is what the article uses and is more meaningful than nominal gdp per capita.

      Here’s another source. Also uses the OECD’s PPP.
