100 Years of Consumer Spending
In: Culture Food US Economy
6 Jan 2010I really don’t like area charts much. They should at least show the beginning and ending percentages for each section. I’m a little surprised food has declined so much.
The Economist Big Mac Index
6 Jan 2010THE Big Mac index is based on the theory of purchasing-power parity (PPP)-exchange rates should equalise the price of a basket of goods in different countries. The exchange rate that leaves a Big Mac costing the same in dollars everywhere is our fair-value benchmark. So our light-hearted index shows which countries the foreign-exchange market has blessed with a cheap currency, and which has it burdened with a dear one.

Food Inflation
19 Jun 2009CHANGES in global food prices are affecting some countries much more than others. Despite a big fall from peaks in 2008, food-price inflation remains high in places such as Kenya and Russia. In China, however, falling international commodity prices have been passed on to consumers faster.
