GDP: If US States were Countries...

Comparison looks accurate to me according to your lists. But, what's the relevance, it is a cherry picked comparison. You could make a similar comparison for European Union.

It is well known that wealth does not scale linearly (nor is distribution normal). GDP should be no different.

 

No relevance, just interesting to look at.

 

US GDP is inflated.

It's like my neighbor who lives a flashy life on credit cards.

Once it's time to pay the piper, his wife will leave him and take the house.

And the piper will always get paid.

In the case of the US it's going to be a rabid depression or a multi-decade prolonged stagflation.

Enjoy.



When are the Chinese going to open up their markets to foreign traders?

 

Still waiting for the "bullshit". The GDPs were accurate. The maps were accurate.

Do you just like to dismiss things because it makes you feel better? Or are you dyslexic and read things backwards???

 

oh my sack traderzones!!

so the gdp of china, japan, uk and germany equate to that of the US??

in terms of purchasing power parity, this is how it goes:

USA: 13.8t

china (6.9) + japan (4.2) + uk (2.1) + germany (2.8) = 16t

13.8 = 16.

next:
Brazil (1.8t) = Texas (1.1)
Indonesia (0.8t) = North Carolina (0.4t)
Denmark (0.3t) - Washington (0.2t)

interesting topic nonetheless, accuracy notwithstanding.

lastly, lower your font so you don't look like such a screaming baby all the time.

anyway, i'm off to go drink...double rum and cokes here i come

 

But half their population makes only $2 per day. That's impressive!

 

The "Golden State", CALIFORNIA is at $1.8 Trillion which places it #8 in the world if the state were considered a Country. In 1999, it ranked #6.
