I’m almost 100% sure that Britain has a larger economy than France, though not by much.

I would not doubt that China has moved up the chart since then.
They might have been higher than that in the first place. Aren’t we relying on the PRC’s official word for that?

From the CIA factbook…

Germany GDP - 2.18

China -5.7 Trillion
US - 10.4 Trillion
Russia - 1.3 Trillion
India - 2.66 Trillion
Brazil - 1.3 Trillion

Jan, It’s inserted in the list by me from the above website.
GI, Caulifornia’s is as if it were existing alone. I don’t think chaving it in or out of the US #s matters yet.
GI, who knows what we are relying on?!
Yanny, thanks for the update! I tried GNP and got gobbledygok. I tried GDP and got old #s…and all this on google.com !
Gee, another 20 years and China and India will leave us in the dust. I wonder what a free economy will do to China’s ‘communist’ system in 20 years?!?
*** Teej, note the small c and quotes around communist, separating it from China’s and system just for you! Well, not really. Reading some of your stuff has helped me decide to clarify, for others, the differences between communism as we know it and Utopian Communism.

Om, i don’t think a “free economy” would help the chinese a lot, unless the US$ rises too much. With their currency coupled to the US$, they make quite some profit, as it is severely under-rated.
And…. i would call their economic system pretty free aldready. Their “communism” mainly is an one-party-rule.For “communism as we know it” and “Utopian Communism”, you clearly meant to say “the thing that we wrongly called communism” and “Real Communism” :)
-
Yanny’s facts seem a lot closer to “fact” to me :)
As for California’s GDP, it’s somewhere around 1.5 trillion (2002), please don’t ask me for the number right now. So they’re around France’s size if you think about it. Also, from numbers I’ve seen UK is above France, but the numbers are so close they do not really matter. :)
As for China, they still have a way to develop. Maybe not in their economic system, but in ways of modernization. :)

F_alk, don’t do that! You remind me of a Communications professor I had in the early 1980’s who tried to get us to verify that we understood what the other person was saying by repeating back what they’d just said with a few words changed.
That’s what I said!
Teej, closer than what?!? Considering that my #s were from 1995, you’ll get no argument from me.

Sorry, didn’t see the 1995 there, EH. ;)
