So, can /int/ explain GDP PPP to me?
My thoughts:
Say WashingMachinia, a hypothetical country, produces nothing but 100 washing machines a year. In Washingmachinia money, this is worth 100 Capsules (the local currency of Washingmachinia), which is equal to $400. So it has a nominal GDP of $400.
However in America, those 100 washing machines would cost $800. So the GDP PPP is $800.
Correct?

GDP nominal is used when it suits you.
GDP PPP on the other hand is used when it suits you.
That's how I understand it.

Okay guys here's the simple nominal versus PPP answer to settle the perrenial debate.
Nominal:
Lots of fluctuations
Exchange rates are generally not free floating
Doesn't measure living standards well
Accurate for trade measurement and financial services
PPP:
Measures living standards well
Less volatile
Inaccurate for trade and financial services
Overestimates some countries economic power (power being ability to utilize the economy to make other countries do what you want)
The best measurement:
An IMF based measurement of the nominal GDP value in terms of the six major currencies averaged over 5 years. This averages the best traits of both PPP and nominal.

Also, if you actually think Putin has an affect (positive or negative) on the economy, you might as well compare 2000 to 2015.

you know that the graph at the OP isn't GDP per capita? it's just GDP of the entire country so obviously India will have a relatively high GDP (1.2 billion people)?
btw it's shit Poland is not even in top 20 anymore
