Developed, Developing, Underdeveloped ... who decides?
-
I have always heard that many european nations, australia, canada and the usa fall into "developed" while china, japan, india etc. fall into "developing". Most of the troubled countries fall into "underdeveloped" ... Is there some kind of a standard that measures a nation's capacity and drops it into one of these 3 groups? Or is it just another blah of the media and public folks?

If Japan is not a developed country then there's no such thing as a developed country. I think the distinction is made by the WTO and other organizations. Includes such things as GNP, the value of a nation's currency and other things. "One of the Georges," said Psmith, "I forget which, once said that a certain number of hours' sleep a day--I cannot recall for the moment how many--made a man something, which for the time being has slipped my memory."
