It could just be roughly equal and pulling down the average. Though it does seem that PPP explains a large part of it anyway.

Of course it is cherry-picking, but that doesn't make the gap outside farming less real. It could still be explained by purchasing power parity.

Works completely now, but still have some polishing to do for a v0.1 - repo is live now on @tangled.org (tangled.org/bruceroettge...), awesome to see some UI innovation over github with recent commits displayed.

Though your article does adjust for PPP in the statistics contrary to FT - though I'm unsure if that explains the difference entirely and what the factor is.
Also interesting the note that oil-rich countries have unusually high productivity.
