"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." - Tom Stocky
interesting that graph says russian economy has declined since 1990 to 2000, and steady to 2010, where actually, russian economy has been growing like crazy after 2000. - elvirs
The size of the circle is the size of the economy -- Russia's gets bigger from 2000 to 2010. The vertical axis is just its rank relative to other countries (in terms of GDP). - Tom Stocky
