"swiss on top"

nice chart that puts often "naked" number into perspective to the population.

mal eine nette übersicht die die nackte zahl ins verhältnis zur einwohnerzahl setzt.


when you look at the next graph you can guess how importand the export and a growing world economy is to germany. the us is as always relying on the invincible consumer. looks like the consumer is becoming mortal .......

i wonder why the swiss hasn´t made the list. i would guess that their score should also be very high.

auf der nächsten grafik schön zu sehen wie z.b. deutschland fast ausschließlich am export und ner wachsenden weltwirtschaft abhängig ist. die usa hingegen vertrauen wie immer aug den angeblich " unzerstörbaren" us konsumenten. sieht in letzter zeit allerdings so aus als wenn auch der sterblich ist........

schade das die schweiz in der liste nicht auftaucht. könnte mir gut vorstellen das auch die nen hohen score erzielen würden.

India's tariffs remain much higher than America's. The average duty it imposed on other members of the World Trade Organisation was over 18% in 2005, compared with the American average of less than 4%. But by another measure of global integration, India's economy is more open than America's. Its exports and imports amounted to almost 50% of GDP in 2006, according to estimates by the Economist Intelligence Unit, a sister company of The Economist. America's were only 28%.

In stark contrast to these continental giants, Singapore and Hong Kong, two entrepôt economies, exist for trade. Their exports and imports amounted to over 400% of the size of their economies last year.
