If they would include the drug dealers money probably it would be up a few more spots.

#34"Professional services firm PricewaterhouseCoopers predicted in 2017 that Mexico will be the 7th largest economy in the world in 2050."

It's a rather surprising thing.

It also means the entire _Continent_ your take is pretty US-centric
> It also means the entire _Continent No, it doesn't. "North America" is the continent the USA is on, and South America is a neighboring continent. There is no continent called "America" alone.
That depends entirely upon your philosophy Horatio:

"Continent" isn't remotely as straightforward as many may think and the teaching on what and what isn't a continent (or counted as such) varies globally.
Different models are taught in different countries.

#37Demographics-wise it makes sense that Mexico passed South Korea and Australia. And long-term it's projected Mexico will get up to 7th place by 2050. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/business/these-will-be-th...
Healthiest demographics of any major nation on earth. Mexico will be fundamental to North American security, stability, and prosperity through the 21st century.
Stability? Perhaps some day.
Violence and instability make Mexico a risky place to invest. But Laredo TX now is the largest port in the United States

North and South America, together, are called "the Americas", not "America".

#39America should agree to merge with Mexico. It would be more powerful than anyone has imagined.
Wyomingites and west virginians don't want their ~~blood poisoned~~ voting power diluted. It'll be a hard sell to reform the US in any significant capacity. I don't foresee it happening soon.

#40Economy size is very interesting in itself and has a lot of relevance in some decisions, but per capita has always seemed more important to me, i.e. the Italy and Russia comparison as similar size economies is an interesting one. Mexico is apparently 10th in population.

Every time I hear "hur-dur economy less than Italy" (mostly on Reddit, ofc) I always remember a funny trivia: there are more pensioners in Russia (40M+) than everyone in 15-65 y/o gap in Italy (36M).
So yes, economy size without a tie to the population size and social, geographic and other measurements is.. misleading at best.
