In sharp contrast, institutional efficiency and rule of law correlate decisively with per capita wealth (r = 0.83). Furthermore, anti-corruption controls correlate directly with societal life satisfaction (r = 0.65). Productivity is not an innate biological attribute of the individual worker. It is a direct function of the operating environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A professional moving from an emerging market into the Swiss framework instantly doubles their economic output because they are plugged into superior capital equipment and transparent legal order.
