World’s Youngest Leaders
15 Jun 2009One of those odd interesting stats.
Global Housing Prices
15 Jun 2009Obviously I’m catching up on Economist charts. here’s one on global housing prices. They include three different measures, with the 97-09 long term one probably being the most interesting. I think sparklines probably would have worked better for this.

15 Jun 2009These numbers have been making the rounds. the interesting part is the “fiscal adjustment required” to get debt to sustainable levels.
Global Oil Reserves
15 Jun 2009The Economist is getting fancy with its daily chart – this one if animated and includes audio commentary.
Regression to the Trend
14 Jun 2009Dshort’s June update of one of my favorite charts (inflation adjusted bullish version). Makes me wonder if we’re just going to re-inflate the bubble without any real correction.

Oil Prices 1999-2008
14 Jun 2009An interesting variation on the column chart. (hat-tip to Visualizing Economics for the find). Hopping through the comments and links brought up a good discussion of the design and alternatives.
The Sinking Dollar
14 Jun 2009I generally like their simple designs, but would it kill Good to label their charts properly? (it’s national currency per dollar)
