How have the world and particular countries changed in last decades?
Here you have useful statistics presented in a very friendly way.

An example in the attached file. The rise of China from 1980 to 2009.

That's a cool site, I'm definitely bookmarking that.

However your question is so broad that it's hard to know what you mean.

The graph is wrong. The United States shouldn't be compared to the world, it should be compared by country. For example Finland's economy was booming in the 60's and 70's comparable to the US while other countries in Latin America, Africa, and Asia weren't growing. The graph is highly nationalistic. It's stupid

You can compare any country to any other country too.

Nationalistic? Do you think I am from USA or what? To your knowledge - I'm not from USA.
