This is such an interesting article, attempting to answer one of the biggest questions of the 21st century in one fell swoop. However, I'm not sure all of the reasoning and analysis holds up. For example, software engineers with salaries over 390K are far from rare in the US, and Switzerland has both large numbers of bankers per capita and private doctors with incredibly high incomes.

In terms of income, anyone with an income greater than $390,000 per year is pretty rare. Roughly 99% of the population make less, in fact.
