Poland is about to overtake the UK in GDP per capita. If you were to go back in time to just after the fall of the Soviet Union and told people that Poland may one day become wealthier than the UK you would have been laughed at. Now we are sitting on a different reality. Poland took many measures for pro-capitalist anti-corruption reforms after the occupation by the Russian Soviet Union ended. The UK has taken a different approach. Continued inefficient government encroachment along with mass migration that is detrimental to the country are among the various factors that have hindered the UK's GDP per capita growth significantly.
