GDP by PPP is considered the most accurate size of economic output:

1 CHINA $23,120,000,000,000

2 EUROPEAN UNION $19,970,000,000,000

3 UNITED STATES $19,360,000,000,000

4 INDIA $9,447,000,000,000

5 JAPAN $5,405,000,000,000

6 GERMANY $4,150,000,000,000

7 RUSSIA $4,000,000,000,000

8 INDONESIA $3,243,000,000,000

9 BRAZIL $3,219,000,000,000

10 UNITED KINGDOM $2,880,000,000,000

Indonesia rising into the top 10 surprised me - did not realize they had a 3.2 trillion dollar economy, even larger than Brazil. Additionally, I did not realize Russia was up to 4 trillion in output or that India was over 9 trillion now.

If the UK was back in the EU, it would be about the same size as China economically. If the US, Mexican and Canadian economies were combined, likewise it would be approximately the same as China.

Question: Although there is a lot of Euro skepticism at the moment and a wave of populism spreading across Europe and the US, is it not in our interest to have a united Europe that can move as one force economically to counter balance China? The US & EU combined are the main counterweights against Chinese pre-eminence in the 21st Century. Additionally, India is going to be a major player as well.

I've heard PPP is more accurate because official exchange rate makes it look artificially low. PPP measures the size of all economies in USD in equal measure.

PPP is indisputably better. When real Econ papers re: cross country income gaps are published it’s always in PPP, it’s one of the few things not disputed by macroecon guys

I think nato does the job fine, the US doesn’t necessarily need a super-integrated Europe. Do you not think so?

I think it certainly helps to have an entity with like minded values socially, economically and morally with tremendous economic clout to counter balance what will be a rapidly growing China that is going to pull away from and become a decently larger size than the US.
