Hi All,The title of this post should almost certainly get your attention. I'm not going to sit on a soapbox and preach about various economic issues...that's not my place. As a librarian, I like to present the patron - or the blog reader in this case - with the information and let the patron/reader come to his or her own conclusion. Fair enough - I hope.
A few weeks ago I found this article from Vox.com - a website that covers major news events. The site covers politics, public policy, world affairs, pop culture, science and more in a modern, easy-to-read manner. The site is unbiased, timely and fun to read...
That said the article I wanted to show today is called, '38 Maps That Explain the Global Economy'. I like maps 1 (World GDP per capita), 2 (Economic center of gravy map), 5 (Korea at Night), 11 (World's Busiest Container-Shipping Seaports in 2012), 13 (World Shipping routes), 21 (Oil import/export map), 27(Megacities), and 34 (GDP/Population)...
Awesome use of statistics, maps, graphs and charts!!!!
Enjoy.
Stu
