This is an interesting visualisation of the world’s wealth and population distribution.
Look at global trends and play this forward, do you think the wealth will remain so concentrated on the West & East Coasts of the USA with that little population? Will Eastern Europe and Africa remain that relatively poor? How about India? How about SE Asia?
In particular consider demographics in these areas. India with its 1% divorce rate and huge slack in human capital. Africa with growing birth rates, and SE Asia somewhere in the middle of those with stable but growing populations and improving infrastructure.

That's an amazing chart. They should do two lines though, one for North and one for South.

even better would be a line for 'above the tropic of cancer' and another for 'below' - it seems a better dividing line for me to separate 'global north' from 'global south' 🤙🏻
interesting idea, though the tropic of cancer splits India, China, Saudi Arabia, Mexico
