Fun with Maps and GDP
For those of you with clients in the financial and professional services arena, here is a fun conversation piece or email forward. Each US state is renamed for countries with similar GDPs.
As strange maps puts it, Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is a convenient way of measuring and comparing the size of national economies. Annual GDP represents the market value of all goods and services produced within a country in a year. Put differently:
GDP = consumption + investment + government spending + (exports – imports)
I’m a map geek with six maps/globes in my office, so strange maps is one of my new favorite blogs.
