It's definetly a flawed methodology. It implies the certain qualities have the same importance to cultures worldwide. I'm born in Scotland but ethnically Punjabi. I go pakistan and i see extreme poverty and struggle, yet I speak and live with people of different classes and it's often those who are poor but with community who are happiest (something similar applies to many nations I've been) not to say wealth wouldn't make them happier or live longer, but our current capitalist system is a disease that very very few nations were able to effectively control so that the society benefits (gulf Arabs, Singapore and Nordics) but generally wealth doesn't make a nation happier unless it's somewhat fairly distributed
