Forget everything you thought you knew about the global economy. This #datavisualisation will shatter your worldview. Ditch the "nominal" and embrace the "PPP" measure of GDP. China is now the world's largest. I used something here called Purchasing Power Parity, or PPP. It's not about exchange rates – it's about what money can actually buy in each country. And the story is revealing. I used the Maddison Project data and inflation adjusted it to 2024, given that we had such a lot of inflation post-Covid. And I've paired this with data from the World Bank and estimates from the IMF. Please note that these are based on modern-day territorial boundaries. The USSR has been included here too and didn’t exist in the 1800s. The Maddison Project did this to make data comparable over really long time periods. And don't worry! I'm going to do a GDP per capita data visualisation soon, but that's a different story. So what can we see here when we look at GDP with this PPP measure? First off, notice that in 1820, Britannia may have been about to rule the waves, but the real economic titans were China and India. And that has been the case for millennia. These Asian giants dominated the world economy, until the Industrial Revolution took hold and imperialism crushed their economic output. China back then controlled a staggering 33 per cent of global GDP. India, another 16 per cent. Together, that's half the world's economic output! The US then took over later on in the 19th Century. However, now things are changing once more. In 2013, China reclaimed its crown, surpassing the US in PPP GDP terms. Today, on this measure China commands 19 per cent of global GDP, while the US just 15 per cent. And India's roaring back too, now the world's third-largest economy. The past appears to be reasserting itself, and the future? That's difficult to say with China's rapidly ageing economy and recent economic structural problems. Only time will tell. But what do you think? Music: Bottai by Ooyy, Epidemic Sounds #India #China #USEconomy #GDP #MacroEconomics
