If the global economy were 1 million USD or so (Tentative title)
Synopsis
It's not so easy to understand the data of the global economy because the figures are always huge, billions or even trillions. But shrinking those figures to smaller numbers and replacing them with the numbers you see in everyday life makes it easier to comprehend the working of the global economy.
The purpose of this book is to compare statistics of the global economy in smaller numbers that even teenagers can read and understand. For example, the total GDP of the world is about 27 trillion USD. But this kind of number does not appear usually in our life. So it's not easy to imagine how large it is.
Therefore, the number is replaced with 1 million USD as sales of World Co., Ltd. If you heard that the sales of the United States are 330,000 USD out of the total 1 million USD sales, you can understand the fact the United States is producing about one third of total world GDP.
This book has many examples like that in 6 sections. The 6 sections deal with different aspects of the global economy, they are: macro economy, micro economy, energy, transportation, industry and agriculture.
It's certain that reading this book will make it easy for anyone to understand the working of the global economy.
