Oh yeah, it definitely makes sense that the average person in the US would still be better off, but I would think countries like Sweden and Norway would have a net decrease with global wealth being spread evenly. Then again, I just looked up inequality stats and Sweden has higher inequality than the US, so maybe that explains it.
I also just meant like 40 or 50% of all global wealth ends up in America or with American nationals so even relatively well off nations would be doing better under global re-distribution.
But yeah, all capitalist nations are gonna have insane wealth gaps.
The Nordic countries would also have a net increase according to this, which seems a little odd to me.
There's a fuckton of money in America

Ah, I understand now, and that makes perfect sense. Thanks for the clarification.
Almost everyone except for the wealthy are in debt in Sweden at least. Manageable debt, but it is still negative wealth.
