World GDP (1-2050)
19 Mar 2012I’ve posted charts based on Maddison’s GDP dataset before, but here’s a new one that tacks on IMF projections. Obviously, the timeline scale isn’t linear and thus distorts things a bit, but the broad point is the same.

I do not understand what this chart is trying to say? Can someone please explain in layman’s terms? Thank you.

Not really that tough to understand. The creator of this took the largest 9 economies and charted them out over 2,000+ years.

Very interesting chart. I’m dubious about the ability to accurately measure economic activity in vastly different environments 2000 years ago and even the ability to make accurate 40 projections. Will China grow like South Korea or like North Korea the next 40 years?

Where is the graph? The link does not lead to the graph you show…
