>>12270889Yes. Its basic common sense the more complex your output, the more skills your country has honed, the better the economy. I think something the theory it fails to take into account is the glut of importation/ soft skills. Real economic productivity is in people making things and making complex things at that- not importing things to package/sell. eg if your complexity requires the import of something you should be 'ranked down' bc you have lopped off a whole chain of productive activity (exhuming and refining the material). I think this artificially 'bumps up' how good places like the UK, France, USA , to some extent germany, look.
