see that the criteria are much more narrow than the criteria used by the Economist. I have given one example (Iceland) in which you insist on giving various excuses, but there are more. For instance the Newsweek list states the UK as no 14 ahead of countries like France or Austria. If you read the Economist methodology, which is by far more accurate, (even for 2005 standards supposely) you will see why it is ranked relatively low. The UK might have a relatively high GDP per capita, but a high social breakdown as well, which offsets any gains in GDP per capita. Whoever has been in the UK, France and Austria knows who has the better quality of life (and this is not the UK). Also placing Czech Republic and Slovenia (two ex-communist countries), which only recently became part of the EU, above Greece sounds a bit funny. The bottom line is that we need to focus on the SOURCE rather than the DATE. The source is always ahead of the date. Newsweek magazine might be excellent in spreading the news, but the Economist is the standard for economic and development matters.

of them - are high HDI countries (the first four being very high HDI developed countries). That's why Newsweek doesn't rank some other very high HDI tiny countries (whose population is less than 1 million) ranked by Economist: Iceland, Cyprus and Malta, and doesn't rank some other high HDI tiny countries (whose population is less than 1 million) ranked by Economist: Bahrain, Barbados, Montenegro, Trinidad and Tobago. The only exception is Luxembourg, being a tiny country ranked in Newsweek's index, because Luxembourg consitutes one political entity along with Belgium (being a big country), that is called
389:(0.920). Furthermore: neither Economist, nor Newsweek, have ranked six tiny countries having a high HDI: Antigua and Barbuda, Bahamas, Grenada, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, and Seychelles. If you don't complain about Economist for not ranking the four tiny developed countries mentioned above, and for not ranking tiny Brunei (whose HDI is very high), and for not ranking the other six high HDI tiny countries mentioned above, then you shouldn't complain about Newsweek for not ranking tiny (developed) Iceland (whose HDI is very high). 539:

Knowledge should maintain neutrality, and shouldn't prefer Ecomomist's methodology to Newsweek's methodology, nor should either one of us decide that one index is "more accurate" than the other, as long as no such decisions have been made by concensus in Knowledge.

Economist had been widely used as the reference for its "Quality of life index" - during the last five years, because no other celebrated body had made any other (similar) thorough survey - during this long period. However, something changed last week, on 15/8/2010, when Newsweek came up with its new

Throughout various articles in Knowledge, the Economist is widely used as the reference for its "Quality of life index". And not by luck. The Economist is a specialized organization dealing with Economics while Newsweek is just a news magazine. Even if you have a look at the methodology used, you can

Newsweek doesn't rank tiny countries (whose population is less than 1 million). Therefore, it doesn't rank: Andorra, Liechtenstein, San Marino, Monaco, Brunei, Antigua and Barbuda, Bahamas, Grenada, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint lucia, and Seychelles, just as Economist doesn't rank them, although all

Neither Economist, nor Newsweek, have ranked four tiny countries classified as "developed" by CIA: Andorra, Liechtenstein (both have a very high HDI), San Mrino (classified as "advanced" by IMF) and Monaco.

Econonist has not ranked a high HDI country - which is ranked by Newsweek as the 50th country: Cuba (whose high HDI is 0.863). Furthermore, Economist has not ranked four Medium HDI countries - which are ranked by Newsweek: Yemen, Madagascar, Kenya and Cameroon. If you don't complain about Economist

418:. Some other high HDI countries (Libya, and four of the former Yugoslavia countries) are not ranked in the first 100 countries of Newsweek's index, for the same reason for which Cuba (whose HDI is also high) is not ranked in the first 111 countries of Economist's index. 1052:
Your attitude is easy to see throughout your remarks. You need to act more civilized on WP articles and talkpages even if you're so disturbed by your homeland's (Greece) current economic downturn. Today you've been using a sockpuppet to vandalize the

Economist's index is very old, of 2005, while Newsweek's index is updated, as of 2010. According to Knowledge guidelines, an old reliable index (e.g. of 2005) shouldn't be used in Knowledge when an updated reliable index (e.g. as of 2010) is
