Why is Europe so rich?

Because in the19th century, they robbed too much.

Is Europe the richest in western Europe? How to divide it?

Europe is divided into western Europe, eastern Europe, central Europe, northern Europe and southern Europe.

Northern Europe refers to jutland and Scandinavia. Include Iceland, Faroe Islands (Denmark), Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Finland.

Southern Europe refers to the Balkan Peninsula, Apennine Peninsula, Iberian Peninsula and nearby islands south of the Alps, the Mediterranean and Black Sea facing the Atlantic Ocean in the south and east, and the Atlantic Ocean in the west. Including Serbia, Kosovo (unilaterally declared independence but not widely recognized by the international community), Montenegro, Croatia, Slovenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Macedonia, Romania, Bulgaria, Albania, Greece, Italy, Vatican, San Marino, Malta, Spain, Portugal and Andorra.

In a narrow sense, Western Europe refers to the islands near the Atlantic Ocean and Western Europe, including Britain, Ireland, the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, France and Monaco.

Central Europe refers to central Europe, south of the Baltic Sea and north of the Alps. Include Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Liechtenstein.

Eastern Europe refers to the eastern part of Europe, and geographically refers to the European part of Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Belarus, Ukraine, Moldova and Russia.

Europe as a whole is relatively rich. Eastern Europe may be worse. Southern Europe has suffered from economic crisis in recent years, and life has been difficult. Western Europe's economy is relatively developed, Northern Europe has the best social welfare, and Central Europe's economy is also very good. On the whole, the European economy is not bad.

Why are people in European countries so rich and people in China so poor?

It's simple. Let me analyze it for you for two reasons.

The first reason: no technology.

No technology means no income. China doesn't export high-tech products like German and Japanese, so our country can't earn foreigners' money, that is, there is no income. Exporting energy is called sitting on the mountain. So in China, everyone has only one steamed bread, and there will be no second one.

The second reason: the lack of law.

Because China has no technology and no income, China only has so much money, just like our two families, each with 100 yuan. Today I earn your 20 yuan, tomorrow you earn my 40 yuan. In the final analysis, we will always be * * * or only 200 yuan. How did the rich come into being in a country without technology export? There is only one answer: only plundered by China! To put it bluntly, there is a rich man in China, and there are thousands of plundered poor people! How do they plunder the poor? It is because of the lack of law, and what's more, it uses monopoly and administrative means to plunder! Turn the law into a malicious tool!

For example, real estate developers, taking advantage of local administrative power, plundered wantonly, and as a result, there is no room to live today. Another example is PetroChina and China Mobile ... under the plunder of such an administrative coat. 98% of China's wealth quickly gathered in the hands of 2%.

Finally, let me say one more thing. What was the original purpose of China's socialist road? What is the purpose of confiscating the landlord's property? Is to eliminate all monopoly and plunder and redistribute wealth. With the development of socialism today, monopoly is serious and looting is rampant. Our socialist reform has long been a complete failure.

Why are European countries so rich?

I don't understand what you mean by wealth here.

Refers to the people's income, or the country's comprehensive national strength.

In addition, what needs to be corrected for you is that not all European countries are so rich. For example, many franchisees and state-owned enterprises in the former Soviet Union are poor and have many problems, so the economic development is not optimistic.

The prosperity of many European countries (understood as high people's income level and high per capita national wealth) is inseparable from the long-term accumulation of these countries. Due to the opening of new air routes and many changes that took place at that time, many changes have taken place in their society, which is the primitive accumulation stage of capital. It was not until the Industrial Revolution (65438+11960s) that they formally developed rapidly and moved towards modernization. Although two world wars have been destroyed, we can say that the occurrence of wars only caused a temporary interruption of the chain of civilization. After the war, it was easy to resume development because the foundation was still there. The foundation here is very important, especially now, many European countries have strong foundations, including huge wealth foundation, perfect market environment, efficiency and democracy. Secondly, I also think it has something to do with the values and beliefs of people in European society. In capitalist society, people emphasize individuals and materials (this is only a value of others, so it is hard to say that it is bad), and people are "everything in the world is for profit; The world is bustling, all for profit. " The love of wealth is a powerful driving force for the development of this society. Third, these countries have experienced many democratic revolutions in history, and the degree of democracy has always been high, which is manifested in * * *, that is, the economy with less intervention in the economy and less political participation acts as a service provider, which is an environment of economic freedom.

Are small European countries rich?

Luxembourg, Belgium, Switzerland and other countries have the highest per capita income in the world, but Andorra, San Marino, Moldova and other countries are relatively backward because of geographical, resource and institutional factors. In addition, there are low-and middle-income countries such as Poland and Lithuania in Europe. So small European countries are not rich.

Why is Europe so developed?

1. First of all, not all Europe is rich. Actually, it's not discrimination, but I personally don't want to go to Ukraine, Montenegro and Albania.

2. The more developed countries are mainly what we often call Western European countries. I don't want to go to Iceland in this form.

Some people have money, which was robbed in the past. Everyone knows who has the most colonies in history.

4. Some people export technology and some people export culture. Don't forget, the source of western civilization is here. Although Europe's scientific research capacity was hit hard after World War II, it still developed well after the war.

Germany's exports should still be the first in the world at present. Our total export volume will definitely exceed, but we all know the low-end problem of China's export. I don't know what the specific proportion of Italy's tourism industry to the gross national product is, but countries like Liechtenstein and Andorra are small in size and population. If we sell more sets of stamps every year, the per capita income will be considerable.

In fact, many people in China are already very rich, which is beyond the imagination of ordinary European families. There are also poor people in Germany. As for France, I won't go into details. Every family has its own problems, especially in the present situation.

6. Anyway, their per capita income is much higher than ours, but they occupy as much resources as they have. There's nothing we can do. I'm from a rural area in southwest Shandong. I only hope that in my lifetime, I can see my hometown develop to the level of ordinary rural areas in Germany.

Europeans are not as smart as China, so why are they richer than China?

In World War I and World War II, Europe completed the primitive accumulation of capital, while China was badly weakened in World War II, and the present world is still the pattern after World War II. In addition, many reasons, such as the large population base in China, also have a great influence.

Why is America so rich? How did they develop?

First of all, the United States was originally a British colony, and most of its nationals were European immigrants, mainly Puritans. Therefore, from the beginning, it developed according to the model of modern capitalism, and did not experience the previous social stage, especially the feudal social stage. It can be said that from the beginning, it developed according to the most advanced model in the world at that time, without heavy historical burden, and it has been on the fast lane.

Secondly, the geographical conditions of the United States are unique. It is surrounded by two oceans and can be said to be a natural barrier. There is no real big country around, which does not pose a threat to him. Moreover, America is rich in resources, which is also an important reason for its development.

Then there are a series of historical opportunities. After the independence of the United States, there has never been a war on the mainland except for a civil war. The peaceful and stable situation has created conditions for domestic economic development, but it has also attracted a large amount of surplus capital in Europe. At the same time, we firmly grasped the opportunity of three industrial scientific and technological revolutions and achieved long-term high-speed growth. In the other two world wars, the United States was the last big country to participate in the war, and the battlefields were all overseas. Not only was the mainland not destroyed, but its influence was extended to overseas countries. Before the war, he used his neutral position to obtain a large number of arms orders and made a fortune. After the war, it used war to promote its economic growth. Therefore, instead of weakening the United States, the world war has become a golden opportunity for its development.

At present, the prosperity and strength of the United States today, or its strong economic and military strength, is entirely due to its system. This system minimizes and avoids the damage to the country caused by the mistakes of leaders, guarantees and implements the civil rights fully enjoyed by every citizen to the greatest extent, makes them dare to think and speak, makes them truly feel that they are the masters of the country, and makes them feel grateful to this country from the bottom of their hearts and think that this country is worth defending.

This system has attracted elites and outstanding talents from all over the world to serve it. For example, Einstein was originally a German scientist, but he was forced to come to the United States because of Nazi political persecution in his motherland. As a result, he became an "American scientist". Grove, the manufacturer of computer chips we are using now and the founder of Intel Corporation, is a Jew who fled from Hungary to the United States. There are too many similar examples. Many people who have made outstanding contributions to the United States are not Americans. With huge talents, are you still afraid that you will not reach strong economic and military strength?

What attracts talents from all walks of life around the world to serve the United States is the American democratic system and the system of reducing talents and encouraging innovation in an eclectic way. At the same time, it legally guarantees people's freedom of thought and a hundred schools of thought contend. Unlike some countries, suppressing freedom of speech and thought and imprisoning people with a ruler's thought can only suffocate a country and society and lose the motivation for innovation, just like China in the late Qing Dynasty.

What is the reason why America leads the world? To put it another way, what is the capital or property of the United States to dominate the world? I saw a saying that any society is composed of three aspects, namely hardware, software and people. My understanding is that "national hardware" mainly refers to natural resources, ecological environment, as well as physical facilities, equipment and technical conditions. "National software" mainly refers to the national rule system and operating mechanism in various fields; The human weapon mainly refers to people's spiritual beliefs, values and civilized quality. These three aspects are interrelated, namely, the material capital, social capital and human capital of a society. In On Democracy in America, Tocqueville once said: "There are three reasons to help the United States maintain its democratic system: natural environment, legal system and people's feelings." "classify them according to their contributions ... the natural environment is not as good as the legal system, and the legal system is not as good as the people's feelings." The natural environment is a kind of material capital, the legal system is a kind of social capital, and human feelings are human capital. Tocqueville said: "The federal constitution of the United States seems to be a beautiful work of art that can only make inventors famous and rich, but it will become useless if it falls into the hands of others." Mexico's copying of the American Constitution did not make Mexico rich and strong, because it lacked democratic people's feelings.
