This was, of course, calculated before the full weight of the Bank Panic of 2008 and the world Economic Collapse of 2009 are full weighed in. Public Debt will actually drop in most nations, not only from more people saving but then again, GDP is also dropping.

Investment (gross fixed)
(% of GDP)
This indicates what percentage of the income is reinvested into the economy. Of course there are
different sorts of investments. In Russia, for example, it is much more to the manufacturing while in the US/UK to service. Manufacturing is the better investment, unless you're a Free Trader.

GDP - per capita (PPP)-Purchasing Power Parity (Neutral Dollar)
It is interesting that 1. Americans make 4 times what Russians have, but of course Americans pay much more for houses (we tend to own our own flats) and medicine. Over all, Americans do have more things and bigger houses/flats. But then public debt in Russia is 6% but in America is 47% and growing. Public debt is much much worse, even than this.

Anglo Countries (US/UK) are 41.5% of the World external debt in PPP. But 24.5% of the world GDP in PPP. If you toss in Canada and Australia into the Anglo mix, the total world debt is: 44.8% but GDP is 26.8%.
America accounts for 22.4% of the world debt and 20.6% of the GDP.
UK is worst, a total lost cause, a nation that makes up 19.13% of the world debt but accounts only for 3.2% of the GDP.
Russia is 1% of the world debt but accounts for 3.2% of the GDP.
Again, this will all be worse, since the world debt, especially that of America and UK are skyrocketing, while over all GDP is falling.

Before Americans begin to rejoice at how far down they are on this list, lets look at this another way: you are 45th from the best, last year you were 42nd and the year before 37th. Notice a trend. Russia has been improving but a lot is left to do to cut the rate to closer Western European standards, but most of the Western Europeans, whom Americans love to disparage as a broken medical system (it is not, yours is) have rates at half that of America.

Regarding your article: "American capitalism gone with a whimper" thanks for saying what few here have the courage to say.
M. Quinn, http://duraeuropus.blogspot.com/
Though I would argue it's a march toward fascism that we face, your article "American Capitalism Gone with a Whimper" is mostly on point.
Also, I foresee a resistance to what is coming, though that, too, will likely be brutally suppressed. Waco, Ruby Ridge experiences are examples of this. Reading the signs, it would seem the cities controlled whereas the rural areas somewhat more free. Dark times assuredly face us.
Regardless, we in the States face these problems due to our election of individuals more ravening wolves than inspired shepherds and willingness to cede personal freedoms for supposed comforts. We also haven't been on-point with a president since perhaps Reagan; though probably Eisenhower.
Things change, though, as pendulums swing. Your experience in Russia speaks no less to this. Pray for us as I for you in your troubles.
Good post.
@Taryn
Fascism is just another side of the marxist coin. It is the Leninist-Trotskyte version of Marx vs the Stalinist version known as Communism.
The Marxist in Russia and Germany came to their positions also by ballet box, it always happens in Republics which turn to Democracies which turn to Dictatorships.
Cheers,

Very interesting stuff. As a Greek Orthodox American I find we have much in common, although less so on trade. You can link with me here:
http://georgesarant.blogspot.com/
Well, gosh-golly, Russia is sporting to be a real superpower in erm, never.
I like the economic arguments you draw. Your thoughts on freedoms and religious freedoms are hypocritical, no?
Quick note on infant mortality. I work in the medical industry, and the reason these numbers appear high, in spite of the United States' sophisticated medical industry, is because we try to save thousands of infants, every year, that most other countries would give up for dead.
Regarding your article: "American capitalism gone with a whimper" you have hit the nail very squarely. We shouldn't be all that suprised after all, he told us what he was going to do during the campaign when he told that plumber guy in Ohio "I just want to spread the wealth around", I'm just amazed how fast he is getting it done.
Someone had linked this article found on Pravada: "American capitalism gone with a whimper."
I really have to say it is quite excellent coming from the U.S.A.
I haven't read your site so I don't know if you're a Christian or not. The tone which is spoken seems a little too "Us" vs. "You" & seeped in National pride for me to suspect that you belong to the Worldwide Body of Christ.
(The true followers of Christ-not the wolves in sheep’s clothing that you mention. There is still a remnant of Biblical Christians here.)
Regardless, you're definitely "onto "it but if I
may add just a bit of Christian spiritual discernment to your observations.
In this American remnant of Christians there are some who are well aware of what is happening to the US-behind the scenes in light of Bible prophecy.
Even beyond what you mention which is completely accurate.
America as a nation has turned its back on God & He's had enough of our rejection. Right @ the point of Obama's election we (Christians) realized that our country has just entered an era of judgment.
The majority of America wanted their own "king" & now they've been granted him. (Not to say the other Presidents were not also moving toward this ultimate New World Order-scenario) Any person who was able to remain objective (which is now a minority) & did just a "little" research on Obama could foresee exactly where he would lead us.
This really wasn't rocket science.
So here we go- but in light of Bible Prophecy it was to happen. America is not mentioned in the Biblical end time's scenario's for a specific reason. She's no longer a world super-power.
Proverbs 16:18 "Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall."
* need 2nd post to continue..)
cont...
But you-Russia my dear are mentioned in the Bible & that is the main point I wanted to bring up.
We don't know exactly when but are being warned-via the Holy Spirit-that America is going to be judged.
God uses other nations to enforce His judgments & it's very possible it may be Russia He'll use. Or-it could be North Korea,China,South America... etc.. just don't know.
But back to Russia- you're no better off than we are.
Read Ezekiel 38 in the Bible. It speaks of "Magog" which are Scythians-Russians. Your country is actually listed in a Bible Prophecy.
In it God says in verse 3 'Thus says the Lord God, Behold, I am against you, O Gog, the prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal. I will turn you around, put hooks into your jaws, and lead you out, with all your army, horses, and horsemen, all splendidly clothed with, a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords. Persia(Iran), Ethiopia (Sudan area), and Libya(Algeria/Libya) are with them, all of them with shield & helmet; Gomer(Turkey) and all its troops; the house of Togarmah ( from Turkey-central Asia/China) from the far north and all it's troops-many people are with you.
In verse 8 it goes onto speak of Israel's rebirth as a nation & how it will be attacked by Russia & the coalition of nations I just mentioned.
When has Russia ever been so close to Iran in world history? This was prophesied thousands of years ago & now we see how Bible prophecy is accelerating in our time & these very countries are coming together just as God has stated in His word.
I'm not going to go on too long here but if you want to read about Russia's judgment it begins in Ezekiel 38 verse 18 and goes on though Chapter 39.
In the worldwide Body of Christ we don't view life in an "us" verses "them" mentality.
We are all subject to the Lord God & all the nations of the earth will eventually be judged.
It just appears that America & Russia will be heading things off on in God's timeline so prophetically we have more in common than most realize.
Give this some consideration. Time is running out to submit to the authority of the Lord Jesus Christ & be eternally secure & at peace no matter what the outcome is of our countries.
We all have free will & are never forced to submit to God's rule. He draws us to Him in love but we have to answer.
Isaiah 46:10 " I make known the end from the beginning, from ancient times, what is still to come. I say: My purpose will stand, and I will do all that I please."
Is Russia accepting immigrants from Ireland?
I find it very insulting that you make blanket statements about different nations in this blog. I agree with some of what you're saying, but you have to understand that not ALL Russians share your viewpoints and that not ALL American's are mindless Marxists.
