Why is Southern Italy poorer than Northern Italy?

[Vasconcelos]

Ooooo nooooh, you can be racist and prejudiced with meeee,buaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...what Brazilians are more??? Tell me... love talk bad about my pretty country of heart.

Many southern europeans are very irrational tribalistic
If i'm tendentious with ''your'' equals, i'm ignorant trolls and like ''stereotypes''

If you are tendentious with my 'brilliant,, people so be right

[Andarijo]

China is another super power, are Chinese people richer than Italians? No! And it's the same if we speak about Russia, a country where poverty is extremely widespreaded and where all the wealth is owned by a tiny portion of the population.

In terms of quality of life is evident that southern Italy is much better than China. But China is China ...

These are maps about year 2011 and only about maths, not an average.

But if you like to hear ''Russia better country 'n teh world, all the other countries are ruled by little girls''...ok, i can write this with a notarial deed, ok?

You do realize that the guy who this map made it based on richard lynch data plus some education data or study. based on the new study i found i can do my own map too






Patents granted also indicate that





First of all why you do like being entirely european country makes in any way better than russia which is bordering china, japan and Korea who are more advanced civillisations than you? Second southern italy isnt richer than russia stop lieng around data clearly proves it has as high gdp per capita or even below most regions.

And so what? you had an entire empire in latin america which is today for the most part poorer than serbia, czech and slovak republics and so on..

Russia is nothing more than an oil banana republic to great similarity of how Mexico use to be during the 1970s. Watch how when Oil goes down, Russia also goes down.

In the world, Russia is the second largest power, mainly for its military hegemony. The world's second largest.

first of all OECD regions GDPs are calculated in Euro though it's written dollars, secondly the poorest provinces of southern Italy you have listed before are comparable to Eastern European countries while poorest Russians one with Iraq! Can't you read the comparisons? Look at the links!

if you count in euro it doesnt make any differences, and if you use ppp its always international dollar which some other currency not dollar.

If you want to be cynnical you could say the country has been in crisis since the mid 1800s.

If you want to be more cynical you could say that Portugal has been in crisis since the personal union with Spain from 1580 to 1640.

and during that time it was the strongest and richest region

There's some truth in it, under Frederick II the Kingdom of Sicily was the most advanced state in Europe.

what should be the reason for poverty in Russia, Estonia, Czech Republic, Serbia......................?

Communism?!

It's quite unfair to compare single regions with a whole country. It would be more useful to compare regions with regions.

Is it unfair? That russian user has begun comparing a whole country (Russia) with Southern Italian provinces.



But we can also easily compare regions:


Italian southern Regions GDP (2008):
Sardinia $25,621
Apulia $21,980
Sicily $21,589
Campania $21,329
Calabria $21,329

And current equivalent Russian ones (2009):
St.Petersburg $25,277
Tatarstan $23,290
Komi Republic $22,335
Leningrad Oblast $21,549


well Sardinia has a GDP per capita comparable to the 5th richest Russian region, Calabria with the 8th richest Russian one.

And Russia is divided into 80 federal subjetcs!!

So, if the poorest Italian region has a GDP per capita like the 8th richest Russian federal subject, is Russia richer than Southern Italy? The answer is NO.
