I am comparing the GDP per Capita of the United States with Japan, India, China, and Indonesia over the last 500 years. (GDP per Capita for each country is in 1990 international Geary-Khamis dollars, calculated from purchasing power parities (PPPs) of currencies and average prices of commodities.)

A log scale on the Y axis would be more enlightening.
yeah, … i second the request for a log scale :-P. hardly useful without it.
Will be more enlightening if you do the comparison, in terms of PPP, because in the end for the common man thats what matters most.
Please use a log graph so as to enable seeing the recent moves for China et al more clearly. Also, please consider doing a graph since 1950 using real (normalized to inflation) numbers.
But, let me say, nice graph — makes me want more.
