Created by Joe Swainson, recent graduate of University Arts London (Camberwell College). He created this poster to show the shift in our world economy with emergence of certain markets. Countries covered are: United States, Japan, Germany, United Kingdom, France, Italy, Russia, Brazil, India, China. Data sources are United Nations historical data and Goldman Sachs forecasting data.

Each circle represents the size of the nation’s economy every decade from 1970 to 2050. The countries are ranked by GDP each decade from largest to smallest. Pay attention to the forecast for China, India and Brazil

Catherine — Mon, 07 Jul 2008 01:56:36 +0000

From the New York Times an interactive graphic which allows you to look up the CEO pay in 2007 and compare it to the change in their company’s stock price (by Vu Nguyen, Kurl Russell, Tom Jackson). I took screenshots for 4 tech CEOs: Oracle, Microsoft, Google, and Apple. Size of the orange circle is the CEO’s compensation. Keep in mind this does not include the increase value of stock options they currently own.

United States vs Great Britain (Revised)

Catherine — Mon, 31 Dec 2007 00:10:50 +0000

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:

Data estimates for population from Angus Maddison Emeritus Professor, Faculty of Economics, University of Groningen.
