Top 10 American Countries by Gross Domestic Product (RGDP) 1960-2018

This video features the top 10 American countries by gross domestic product (RGDP) from 1960 to 2018.

The GDP figures in this video represent the GDP at purchaser’s prices, which takes into account the total gross value added by all domestic producers in the economy and all relevant product taxes before deducting any subsidies not included in the product prices. Nevertheless, these figures do not factor in the depreciation of fabricated assets and the gradual degradation and depletion of precious natural resources over time.

Moreover, these data are expressed in constant 2010 U.S dollars to adjust for changing cost of living as a result of inflation, meaning the real GDP allows us to make meaningful comparison of quantity of output over the years. Last but not least, #GDP figures expressed in domestic currencies are converted to their USD equivalent using 2010 official exchange rate.

Objectives of This Video:

1) To find out the top 10 largest economies in #Americas by real GDP from 1960 to 2018.
2) To visually compare the economic performance of American countries from the perspective of real gross domestic product (RGDP) over the years.

Key Takeaways from This Video:

1) The United States (the largest American economy by real GDP in 2018) alone makes up a whopping 21.78% of the world real GDP that year.
2) The total GDP of the 10 largest economies in Americas has exploded by 546% from 1960 to 2018 while the World GDP has increased by more than eightfold (828%) over the same period.
3) As of 2018, the top 10 largest American economies together constitute 97.45% of the American total GDP or 30.77% of the world economy in terms of real GDP.
4) For the past 10 years, the 10 richest American economies have collectively only grown by 1.716% annually, which is about 1.467 times slower than the global average of 2.518%.

2) Is having a high relative RGDP equivalent to being economically and socially superior to other poorer countries with lower corresponding figures?
3) What should policymakers do to ensure #SustainableDevelopment in both their economy, environment and social structure?
