Russia - the sixth place in the world by GDP (PPS), fourth - Industry

Original size of the Russian economy much more, than are liberals and "vsepropalschiki". And the US has lost the leading role in the global economy, which has moved to the Asian giant

We look at the size of GDP at purchasing power parity (PPS) billions of dollars. IMF data, 2017 of the year (fresh yet):

1. 1. China 23208

1. 1. USA 19485

1. 1. India 9474

1. 1. Japan 5443

1. 1. Germany 4199

1. 1. Russia 4016

1. 1. Indonesia 3250

1. 1. Brazil 3247

1. United Kingdom 2925

Looking at these figures, clear, eggs are not worth a damn all these liberal and vsepropalnye talk, that the Russian economy is supposedly less, than those in the US 14 time, supposedly a lot less, than in the UK and France, and is, they say, between South Korea and Spain.

breakwater, we - are weak, paltry and resist America can not in any case; в общем "hands up and down Hosе" ("Hands up, pull the pants "). Actually, Russia on the size of the economy - the second, only slightly behind Germany.

And China is quite devastating udelala America on economic strength.

A small clarification here - why it is necessary to consider the GDP is not at par, after a PPS. PPP - means, calculated based on the price level in the economy, rather than the exchange rate, installed on the foreign exchange market.

Here is an example. You went to the barber shop in the US, cut your hair, gave 20 dollars. You have done the same thing in Russia, gave 250 rub, less 4 dollars at the exchange rate. It seems the same thing happened to your hair. But in the US GDP, if we assume that at face value, It will be recorded 20 Doll. And in Russia's GDP is less than 4 Doll.

Or you went to the catering, for a burger in the US you have given about 5 Doll, in Russia for the burger (or something like) – 120-140 rub; currency exchange rate of approximately 2 Doll. Again, the US GDP will be recorded in the 2,5 times more, although it sold to the same edible product.

AND, let us say, in the field of armaments, Russia's development and production of a multiple cheaper, than US, but it is in the US GDP is a multiple of a large amount will be recorded, reflecting the senseless squandering of funds (and spending on lobbying) US arms corporations.

Thus recalculated PPP allows you to take into account the real purchasing power of the national currency. Although, certainly, calculation of PPP requires further improvement.

T.n. "intellectual property", including in the field of culture, basically, is the, that the capitalists have appropriated and used for profit - of knowledge and achievements, created public efforts. But in this form of "intellectual property" falls in GDP, Americans this far more adept, than the Chinese, Hindus and Russian.

Go ahead. GDP is divided into three sectors: industry, agriculture and services.

Services - is, of course, OK, but the sector does not belong to the sphere of production, and likely reflects, as the country controls the world financial flows and how many earned on the money issue.

Here's a little example from this area. plastic toy, It is made in China, It enters the US as a cargo worth 3 dollar, sold there for 10 dollars. AND, for consumption, net import, It gives an increase in the US GDP 7 dollars. But also spent 3 dollar, likely, are products of the printing press Fed, displayed outside the US and do not have any for a gold, no commercial software. In this way, US GDP in the service sector with ease swells due to the production of an entirely other countries… Or, let us say, services in the field of housekeeping fall in US GDP, and in China, India and Russia (where they are often informal, related or friendly character), likely, no.

so, the percentage of sectors of industry / agriculture in GDP:

• • China 39,5/8,2

• • USA 18,9/0,9

• • India 28,9/16,8

• • Japan 23/1,5

• • Germany 30,1/0,6

• • Russia 32,4/4,7

• United Kingdom 19/0,6

In this way, if we consider only the real production sector, Industry c / x, it turns into a billion dollars in PPP:

• • China 11070

• • India 4329,6

• • USA 3858

• • Russia 1489,9

• • Japan 1333,5

• • Germany 1289,1

• • …

• United Kingdom 573,3

Russia – in fourth place, surpassed Germany and Japan. UK more generally are not interested in. The gap with the US is even more reduced (take into account, they have still two and a half times the population). And the United States looks very pale in comparison with China, where output over nearly three times. And India is something that gets up, It is the second… Looks like, nourish those days, when Western colonial powers have not yet captured and enslaved India China, i.e 18 century, where a couple of Asian giants accounted for more than 60% world production.

If you count only the industry, with no / x, billions of dollars in PPP:

1. 1. China 9167,2

1. 1. USA 3682,7

1. 1. India 2738

1. 1. Russia 1301,2

1. 1. Germany 1263,9

1. Japan 1251,9

China in terms of the industry exceeds US 2,5 fold. (If you look at many natural indicators, the United States looks like a dwarf compared to China. And not only for the production of consumer goods. China produces 928,8 million tons of steel, US - 86,7; China produces 2400 million tons of cement, US - 86,3 etc.) Russia, in this case ahead of Japan and Germany. AND, by the way, according to the results 2018 growth in industrial production in Russia amounted to 2,9%, that the above, than in Germany and Japan.

This does not mean, that there are no problems in the Russian economy. This sterilization is a significant part of the oil revenues in reserves (including potential enemy currency), and the withdrawal of profits to offshore, malware and income inequality. All this deprives the Russian half of the potential for economic growth. But to represent the Russian economy as something insignificant and condemn Russia to the defeat in the growing confrontation with the West - it is psychological warfare against its own people.

Author aftershocks counted industry figures somewhat differently, but I came to similar results.

p.s. Why is data on the real production of goods have disappeared from the world's media, owned, usually big business, It is a separate issue. obviously, they interfere with the ideology of neo-liberalism.
