A well-known English economist , Angus Maddison estimated the World GDP from 0 B.C. to the 20th century .
It's quite exciting .

I made the graph from the Web site above .
It took 1600 years that the world GDP had increase nearly three times . (103 ⇒ 329) Meanwhile , that the world economy has
grown almost 50 times in less than 200 years from 1820 to 1998
(694 ⇒ 33,726) .
We can'nt help admiring the Industrial Revolution
【 Figure 2 】
When we think of the GDP of the country , we tend to do under the leadership of the U.S. because they have been a major economic power after the war .
However , if you look at the wide range of the history ,
I'm sure you will get an another historical perspective .
Yellow grapfh stands for the Asia . Until recetly , that is
to say the middle of the 19 th century , they had been a supreme ruler since A.D.0.
【 Figure 3 】
Figure 3 (above) shows GDP by country . India and China had been two major dominant powers through 2000 years .
We can learn the rise and fall of the history of man from
the fact , and come to understand the history relatively .
It's quite exciting .
