Plays the chart through its history. Pauses are where a new leader takes first place.

Palanor calculation from World Bank WDI (CC BY 4.0): GDP in current U.S. dollars (NY.GDP.MKTP.CD) and total population (SP.POP.TOTL, from UN World Population Prospects), each as a share of the World Bank world total. Market exchange rates. Taiwan is not in World Bank data. The 40 largest economies and the 40 most populous countries (55 in all). Images draw the largest gaps above and below zero; the page and the data table list every country.

One number for the gap between people and output: above zero, a country produces a larger share of the world's GDP than its share of the world's people. The gap also scales with size, so small rich countries sit near zero while the United States sits far above it and India far below.
