It's been pretty eye opening learning so much about Europe over the past few months.
I see a lot of comments criticizing this particular metric, but try to find one that doesn't make Europe look much poorer (materially) than America.
Europe being roughly half as wealthy as America is right in line with the data @TomK's been sharing.

The poverty in the south is astonishing compared to the standard of living in the US. Tomorrow I will move for some weeks from Spain to my small apartment on Crete/Greece. If You like I could post some pictures of the village where I live over there. To You US guys it must be the Middle Ages...to get an idea...
