I love how a publication called "The Economist" doesn't have the wherewithal to measure supposedly economic outliers like Ireland and Luxembourg and just throws its hands up in the air and doesn't try.

I was in Dublin, Ireland[1] All of its so called high power capital GDP is mostly accounting gimmick.

Japan, Singapore, or even Eastern European capitals felt more prosperous to me.

Bit offtopic, but the amount of homeless and drug addicts in Dublin was absolutely astounding, haven't that that many in cities 3x the size.
