Counterpoint - well-being vs macroeconomics

How many times have we seen countries that theoretically (according to macroeconomic indicators) are doing very well, but ordinary people on the street, like you and me, don't perceive it? Today we're going to talk about how the indicators used to say a country is "doing well" (as Aznar would say) don't necessarily mean that individuals in that country are doing well. But we'll also see to what extent this might actually be the case. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- We only ask that you follow some basic rules of respect. We want to create a **genuine conversation** among everyone, where we listen to each other, interact, and address one another; an environment where all members can speak (if you prefer to listen, that's fine too). To this end, our rules include **introducing ourselves upon arrival, not interrupting, not monopolizing the conversation, not constantly trying to shift the topic to what interests you, and making sure everyone can understand your message clearly**, etc. Basically, nothing unreasonable, but just in case, we'll try to ensure that **each table has a moderator**, a veteran member of the group, whose decisions must be respected. If you'd like more information, you'll find it in the group description. You can also join our **Telegram group**, where our community is hosted and where we manage many things. To do so, follow this link: [https://t.me/+VN2V3ZCgp8d2MbmE](https://t.me/+VN2V3ZCgp8d2MbmE) We also recommend that you use Discord to inform us of anything, because the Meetup app doesn't work very well. The typical case is if you're new and can't find us. However, if you're going to arrive late, there's no need to notify. We'll simply assign you to the emptiest table, you'll introduce yourself, and we'll continue debating.
