Czech Republic is now ahead of Spain in GDP per capita

[Aldaris]

The small eastern Europe countries like Czechia (plus Austria) are basically a capital city and some villages-small cities in the surrounding hundreds of kilometers, until appears another country and another capital city.

Kinda, but what’s the real thing in that case? Most other cities/villages in here can be described as ‘boring’, objectively. But that doesn’t mean anything. Just around 1/10 of Czechs live in Prague.

The Latin American countries are reaching and surpassing Iberian GDP per capita levels with a much higher Mixed/Black/Amerindian percentage of people than Portugal or Spain will have even 40-50 years in the future.

The GDP per capita grows slowly in Spain because in the last 20 years we have imported 10 million immigrants that we didn´t needed and have only worked for increase until dramatic rates the unemployment rates and the number of people that survives with the funds of the state.

Without them the spaniards would be a 20-25% richer.

I lived in Panama and they will never be richer than Spain, the human factor fails dramatically, if they didn´t had an spanish economical elite that country would be another Haiti.

Congrats to CZ. Not suprising, in between the 2 world wars Czech lands had higher GDP per capita than France. In near future it is likely to become one of richest European countries.

maybe an higher GDP per capita but we are ranked #1 as soft power front the USA in soft power 30,yes we are front the USA surprised? yes me too and we are ranked in 10th position an 9th last year,because some assholes have ranked France behind India in there dreams,not even close i don't think so we don't need to care about hepatisis from D to Z when we are pulling water from our sinks,we don't need to watch our 6 for the tourista,india seriously, it's not because they launching spoutniks (meaning traveller in russian) that's made of them a first world country
if your avoid all the third world cockroaches who weight the boat and pulling us by the bottom we still in the fifth first ranked countries



does your third world analphabets surnumbered coakroaches able to do this ?i don't think so


i'am very sorry,all my bad, if hold up a thread of my czech friends of the Carolus Magnus Great Holy Germanic Empire please forget me but:
Brain-controlled exoskeleton helps paralyzed man walk again

A man paralyzed from the shoulders down has been able to walk using a pioneering four-limb robotic system, or exoskeleton, that is commanded and controlled by signals from his brain.

A man paralyzed from the shoulders down has been able to walk using a pioneering four-limb robotic system, or exoskeleton, that is commanded and controlled by signals from his brain.



With a ceiling-mounted harness for balance, the 28-year-old tetraplegic patient used a system of sensors implanted near his brain to send messages to move all four of his paralyzed limbs after a two-year-long trial of the whole-body exoskeleton.

The results, published in The Lancet Neurology journal on Thursday, bring doctors a step closer to one day being able to help paralyzed patients drive computers using brain signals alone, according to researchers who led the work.

But for now the exoskeleton is purely an experimental prototype and is “far from clinical application”, they added.

“(This) is the first semi-invasive wireless brain-computer system designed... to activate all four limbs,” said Alim-Louis Benabid, a neurosurgeon and professor at the University of Grenoble, France, who co-led the trial.


He said previous brain-computer technologies have used invasive sensors implanted in the brain, where they can be more dangerous and often stop working. Previous versions have also been connected to wires, he said, or have been limited to creating movement in just one limb.

In this trial, two recording devices were implanted, one either side of the patient’s head between the brain and the skin, spanning the sensorimotor cortex region of the brain that controls sensation and motor function.

Each recorder contained 64 electrodes which collected brain signals and transmitted them to a decoding algorithm. The system translated the brain signals into the movements the patient thought about, and sent his commands to the exoskeleton.

Over 24 months, the patient carried out various mental tasks to train the algorithm to understand his thoughts and to progressively increase the number of movements he could make.

Commenting on the results, Tom Shakespeare, a professor at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, said it was “a welcome and exciting advance” but added: “Proof of concept is a long way from usable clinical possibility.”

“A danger of hype always exists in this field. Even if ever workable, cost constraints mean that high-tech options are never going to be available to most people in the world with spinal cord injury.”




this is the difference between a first world country and the rest( renaissance12 if you hear me),i'am glad than the czechs take the train of the 21st century with us

Central Europe is thriving thanks to EU, getting a lot of founding and many Germans company moved there their production due to lower salaries and high technical skills.
Spain France and Italy are the ones who are are getting milked form this process.

So ? For half a century East-Central Europe was milked by Soviets and communism while west received billions of American aid after WW2. Things are just returning to normal now.
Czech Republic was more industrialized than every southern European country excluding northern part of Italy in the beginning of the 20th century.

[ixulescu]

maybe gdp ppp pc. doubt this has occured wrt real gdppc (nominal).

nominal is not more real than ppp, both are estimates

[Jana]

Also, France benefits enormously from EU, them and Germans benefits from EU the most economically.

Actually, to this day, Banat region in Romania and the region around Prague still employ percentually more people in industry that any other regions in the EU.

They will equal with Spain and Portugal because Spain and Portugal will be plenty of thirdworlders (most of them from ex-colonies in Latin America and Africa) and will become in a Latin America 2.0, with a majority of illiterate and poor brown population, and a minority of wealthy iberians.

about the third world cockroaches, no thanks to the spaniards to kept the Ceuta shithole,no thanks to the spaniards of not keeping ultra safe the Ceuta border,border of the European Union in .....Africa,what's a joke the Ceuta shithole,after don't be surprised if Ebola is spreaded in Europe again by the fault of the spaniards,frankly i don't wish it even to my worse enemy,because they have by pure cowardness let in illegal refugees in there country,don't be surprised than the tuberculosis eradicated in europe(your famous kiddo BCG vaccin) is back again amid the poorest native european population,unfortunatly amid our homeless native european populations
no thanks of lacking of bollocks

It is just a fact, small countries like Hungary are receiving a lot from EU while Italy is a net payer of several billions every year, Germany makes the rules of EU and they have all the interest to brake the competition of other big countries, the small ones will always be satellites.
I personally think EU will collapse at some point by itself.
And BTW North West Italy was always one of the richest and more industrialized area of Europe since 1800 far more than Czechia.
