The world's 42 largest economies — width = population, height = GDP per person, area = total GDP
I was doing some analysis for a work project, and thought I’d post here too.
Notes:
— The U.S. is 4% of the world's people but 26% of its economy (tallest block on a fairly narrow base).
— China and India together are 35% of humanity but sit low to the ground. India is the single widest block on the chart, yet its total GDP is about 1/8 of the U.S.
— The skinny spikes on the left (Ireland, Switzerland, Norway, Singapore) are the "rich but tiny" countries: very high output per person, very few people.
Caveat worth flagging: Ireland's GDP-per-person is $130k and is inflated by multinationals booking profits there, so it overstates living standards. (This is what my work project is focused on, but that’s a separate topic).
