math smath *NM* random thoughts Send a noteboard - 16/09/2011 12:29:57 AM
To be honest I don't know what PPP really is but I guess it GDP adjusted for cost of living of the country it is in. The other nominal is probably more valid I just went with the first one I saw. Either way there it is a big difference and there are countries like the Sudan that would be a closer fit.


$259 billion is still only four times $62 billion. :p

It certainly seems that there are a ton of ways a person could draw the comparisons, and I sure don't have any idea which would be most relevent or accurate. It's still pretty cool to see the general thrust of how much sheer GDP the US has.

A map. Because maps rock. US states renamed to countries with similar GDPs. Rebekah - 15/09/2011 03:28:54 PM 1178 Views

They mean their GDP in absolute numbers is close to the same size? Legolas - 15/09/2011 08:10:00 PM 824 Views

Erm. Nate - 15/09/2011 09:55:08 PM 789 Views
Yeah, I don't see how those two figures are even similar tbh. *NM* Praziquantel - 15/09/2011 10:00:30 PM 286 Views
Still a huge enough difference to make you wonder about that map, though... Legolas - 15/09/2011 10:00:40 PM 787 Views
yeah I was looking at the PPP number which is 259B random thoughts - 15/09/2011 10:08:24 PM 792 Views
That's exactly what it is, yes. *NM* Legolas - 15/09/2011 10:20:56 PM 372 Views

There's a flip side to that, too, though. Joel - 16/09/2011 04:31:06 PM 819 Views
I'd rather not have a political debate on the subject Isaac - 16/09/2011 05:51:50 PM 783 Views
I wasn't trying to make it political, honest. Joel - 16/09/2011 08:00:34 PM 775 Views
As Legolas says, that is essentially what PPP GDP is, and why I and others prefer it. Joel - 16/09/2011 03:59:41 PM 1004 Views
That's not all that similar! Vivien - 16/09/2011 12:43:10 AM 772 Views
Erm, nevermind. Legolas - 15/09/2011 10:05:13 PM 753 Views
Hmm. Nate - 15/09/2011 10:10:55 PM 842 Views
Yeah, I started out by confusing Delaware with Rhode Island and it went from there. Legolas - 15/09/2011 10:20:09 PM 846 Views
