relative comparison charts for the major world economies as at 8th july
china is going along nicely while the rest are in downward trend in varying degrees
the US just - 2% , aus and germany are -7% and - 9 % respectively
as I see the charts if you average it all out (including china )the world is in sight downward trend
what do others think - economists would look more deeply into it all and put weightings on various countries, and then there are the BRIC countries also.... so my little comparison chart is just that - an amateurish thumbnail really....
