This hub collects our economics and personal finance infographics, including GDP and growth, inflation, money supply, gold and the cost of living, plus sections for trade, stock markets, wealth and income, housing and taxes. Every page shows the original graphic with its creator credited, a complete text version of the data and notes on where the figures come from. Good places to start are US inflation rate history by year, Turkey GDP per capita by province, the top 10 US stocks compared with global stock markets, top personal income tax rates in Europe and global wealth distribution by region. Where a graphic has dated or disputed numbers, the page says so and gives the current figure.
The 113 infographics here fall into a few groups. On the wider economy there are inflation by year, GDP per capita and growth forecasts, and what drives US growth. On trade there are export rankings, US trade with Canada, China and Colombia, and oil reserves and oil flows. Others cover stock market values and money supply, wealth, income and poverty, government revenue, spending and tax rates, and prices from electricity to rare materials.
