Diagram of the world's economy.

[Steve-French]

Here's a very cool data visualization from HowMuch.net that took me a minute to figure out because it's a little bit unorthodox. The way it works is that it visualizes the entire world's economic output as a circle. That circle is then subdivided into a bunch of blobs representing the economy of each major country. And then each country-blob is sliced into three chunks — one for manufacturing, one for services, and one for agriculture.

Outdated. India surpassed Brazil and Italy. Actually it's probably just 2 years behind France at current growth rates.

Has Japan even grown in 6 years? I don't think it's farfetched to say that UK or Germany can surpass Japan in a couple of decades.

Yep.

Time to allow the Japanese to remilitarize.

To be fair their real output is much higher ppp adjusted.

When Sweden, Switzerland, Netherlands, and Norway are listed as distinct and separate places, I get confused.

Check back next week. China's boom might be having a mini-bust at the moment

Could you put this in a Today's Sponge instead so I could understand it better?

It's not PC to be bigger than the rest.

I wonder if services were adjusted for purchasing power if the US would look so well.

 

[Forkfoot]

Yep.

Time to allow the Japanese to remilitarize.
