\"Preview:The British Guardian stated in March that the economic forecast is simple: the next 10 years are going to be a drag<\/a> (dominated by d<\/strong><\/em>eficit r<\/strong><\/em>eduction, a<\/strong><\/em>naemic g<\/strong><\/em>rowth). So get ready for the austerity decade! Do you?
\nHalf of the dynamics of the economy is about psychology<\/a>, and perhaps it is time to draw a more positive picture of the global economy. Regardless of growth (or decline) in the GDP, the global economic activity hasn’t come to a standstill, and GDP is far from being 0. And that means (presumably) good news for the wealthy countries: The world hasn’t changed that much: The picture of global wealth is quite similar to that of 1990<\/a>, and GDP distribution did not change the dominance of the industrialized countries. Probably it is time to stop worrying about growth<\/a>, but think about tackling these global inequalities<\/a> in wealth.
\nThe newly drawn maps show the countries of the world resized according to their estimated GDP in Purchasing Power Parity<\/a> for the years 2010 and 2015 (using data from the IMF, with projections for 2015 made using the approach as described in on the worldmapper website<\/a>):<\/p>\n

To complete the picture, we have also drawn the maps of the raw GDP figures without re-calculating them to PPP. So these are the same maps, but comparing the GDP in U$ – the patters remain the same, but the so called western countries appear even bigger:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
