Hans Rosling 200 years in 4 minuets
Today in class we watched a video where Hans Rosling put every countries GDP and life expectancy in a diagram, and showed how each country grew going through 1809 to 2009. I thought it was interesting to see how around the same time the United States declared independence from England, they went up into the top corner. I still have questions about why it took China so long to get their GDP up despite the population size. I learned that our economy is doing 4x as good as Chinas even though we have roughly the same GDP, it is because China is 4x bigger than us.
