Gross Domestic Product

June 13th, 2007 by Steven Gould

From Bruce Sterling (via Walter Jon Williams.) Here’s a map of the US with all the states renamed for countries with equivalent GDP. I never realized I lived so close to Canada.

(The total market value of all final goods and services produced in a country in a given year, equal to total consumer, investment and government spending, plus the value of exports, minus the value of imports. )

   Suddenly I feel like a Conehead: I am from France.
