This article says Costa Rica ranks 2nd in Latin America in terms of GDP per capita. If you take look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_%28PPP%29_per_capita you'll notice that Argentina, Chile and Uruguay rank higher than Costa Rica, putting it in 4th place.

Most of the economic information and statistics in the first section is at least 5 years old.

Additionally, this sentence has a word I've never run across and can't find my Merriam-Webster dictionary: On a consolidated basis, including Central Bank losses and parastatal enterprise profits, the public sector deficit was 2.3% of GDP. Does anyone know if that is indeed a word, or is it supposed to be something else? I'm not proficient in econospeak enough to know if its just an esoteric word, or a typo. Hopefully someone can address this. Shigernafy 21:19, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

The article mentions almost daily power outages and virtual non-existence of police. There is no evidence offered for these claims. I have spent several weeks in various parts of country and never once experienced power outages, and there seems to be a normal police presence ---Matt A
[edit] Ridiculously one-sided article
This article is written like a position paper. The whole thing should be deleted and rewritten. 68.8.108.62 09:57, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
