United States vs Great Britain (Revised)

Published by Catherine on December 30, 2007 in Angus Maddison, Bubble Chart, GDP per Capita, Income - Average, Median, Population, United Kingdom and United States. 6 Comments

I am revisiting my previous graph United States vs Great Britain: Income and Population since 1500. In my original graph, I placed population on the y-axis which emphasizes its dramatic growth in the US. In the new graph, I placed GDP per Capita on the y-axis which emphasizes the growth in income in both countries. Take a look below at both versions and let me know which you prefer:

United States vs Great Britain: Income and Population since 1500

Published by Catherine on December 23, 2007 in Angus Maddison, Bubble Chart, GDP per Capita, Population, United Kingdom and United States. 0 Comments

Comparing United States vs Great Britain’s income and population over the last 500 years shows how the US eventually over took Britain. Keep in mind that GDP per Capita for both countries are in 1990 international Geary-Khamis dollars, calculated from purchasing power parities (PPPs) of currencies and average prices of commodities.
