Map of the world´s domestic product.
Countries of the world sorted by their gross domestic product (GDP) to values of purchasing power parity (PPP), the sum of all goods and services produced by a country in a year, in relation to purchasing power parity (PPP .) This is an economic indicator introduced in the early nineties by the International Monetary Fund in a realistic way to compare living standards across countries, taking into account the per capita gross domestic product in terms of cost of living in each country.
The PPP is one of the most appropriate for comparing living standards that the gross domestic product per capita, as it takes into account changes in prices. This indicator eliminates money illusion linked to changes in exchange rates, so that an appreciation or depreciation of a currency will not change the purchasing power parity of a country, since the inhabitants of this country receive their wages and make purchases in the same currency. Ie, allows the exchange rates between currencies are such as to allow a coin has the same purchasing power anywhere in the world.

Map of world trade .
The trade is of growing importance in the global economic context, because the portion of production goes to foreign markets has been increasing steadily. In the past 50 years the physical volume of global production grew 8 times while the volume of exports increased 25 times (in value 150 times.) One consequence of this phenomenon is the increasing interdependence of economies and the need to incorporate an international perspective in household decisions. Hence the importance of highlighting some of the characteristics presented by global trade.

Elaboration based on data from the World Trade Organization
In turn, in the last 25 years have seen major changes in trade flows between major areas and countries. While Asia's share has been growing steadily (now exports a quarter of the global total) of South America and Africa have declined and now do not reach 3% of the total. At the country level, the U.S. and Japan have decreased their share in global exports from 12% to 9% and 9% to 6%, respectively. Europe is the exception, since their participation has remained steady at around 45% of the world.

Bar chart of income percapita of the countries E.U.
This inequality is evident in the diagram. The first bar indicates the level of income per capita in 1820 and the second in 1998, according to estimates by Maddison. The numbers in brackets located above the second bar corresponds to the average annual growth rate of the region (between 1820 and 1998).
Highlights three main elements:
* All regions were poor in 1820.
* All regions have experienced some economic progress.
* Today's rich regions experienced by far the greatest economic progress.
