World GDP PPP: (1 AD - 2025)

Описание: How has the global economy evolved since 1 AD? In this video, we compare the GDP (Purchasing Power Parity, PPP) of major economies from 1 AD to today, showing how world economic power shifted across continents and centuries.

For much of history, China and India led the world in GDP due to their massive populations and productive economies. However, the Industrial Revolution in the 17th–18th centuries allowed Western Europe to catch up and surpass Asia in economic influence. Today, many Asian economies are growing rapidly and are projected to become global leaders in the coming decades.

Using data compiled by Angus Maddison, this animated timeline visualizes the rise and fall of economies across history. You’ll see which civilizations dominated world trade, how demographic trends affected economic size, and how technological and industrial advances shifted global GDP over time.

If you’re interested in economic history, global development, or long-term trends in wealth, this video offers a fascinating perspective on the evolution of world economies. Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more animated data comparisons and historical visualizations!
