I love the idea of hundreds of small civilizations whose only record of existing is like going to war with Rome/Byzantine Empire or something having an accurate tally of all trades that occur domestically.
How would you assign gdp from taking 2000 tons of gold from south america? :thonk:
Ah, it’s not per capita
GDP is when you exchange American blood money for African blood money. And the faster that trade occurs, the more GDP you get.
