If you read all the data, you can see a few big trends - first trade: the Dutch republic was on top for centuries. Then the industrial revolution came, the UK and the USA where on top, then oil was found in the middle east and the Arab nations where on top, and after that you got tax havens where the super rich would go to, to not pay any taxes.

Even after 1950 GDP PPP per Capita overall doesn't say you about how "rich" is the country. For example, you many have peniless 98% of population, but a bunch of super-rich billionaires - and GDP PPP per Capita would take all the money those billionaires have and divide on each citizen of the country, thus telling you that "people in this country are very rich" while in reality majority of population would be impoverished. Neither of such "unified indicators" like GDP, GNP and etc. describe you real economy of the country.

@@agungprasetyo292 That is actually wrong and an often misunderstood part of the Dutch history. As you can see in this video the Netherlands were already in the top 3 wealthiest countries in the world even before they started to colonize other regions in the world. That is because of their trade with north eastern europe through the east sea that lies between scandinavia and poland. That actually made the Netherlands rich and even later in the time of the VOC and the colonization of Indonesia the trade with the east sea was still good for 80% of the total wealth of the dutch republic. The part of colonization just accounted for 10 to 20% or so. Actually colonization didnt make europe rich at all. It only brought a lot of suffering to the colonized people without much benefits. A country like Germany or Austria which hadnt much colonies were almost as wealthy as countries like the UK and France that had a lot of colonies.

Muslim decision makers rejected the printing press and this resulted in a long standing trend of relatively low literacy rates. Of course this had an effect on education, wealth, and general well being. Some of these countries didn't even clear the mark of 50% literacy until well until the 20th century while the more prosperous countries had literacy rates at or near 100% going back at least a couple of centuries.

Hi I was interested in your video about the development of the wealth of states in Europe.I have a few questions. There was a revolution in France in 1792. People were very hungry and there was great poverty. France had been heavily in debt since Louis XIV and Louis XV put France in debt in the War of Canada and the Seven Years War. But France is not in the red Numbers (minus) in your video. Anyway Austria-Hungary (Habsburg monarchy) was in red numbers after 1648 (Thirty Years War 1618-1648) and in the Seven Years War (1756-1763) Austria (Habsburg monarchy) lost Silesia which was very industrial. These events are not reflected in the charts. Why? I like your work very much and it's a great idea.

First of all, "rich", even though it is not an economic term, is usually defined as having a certain amount of assets, a static number at a given moment in time; it does not refer to annual income, a flow over a certain period of time. At any rate, "rich" is a popular term usually connected with income. So it is what it is. Second, this list should be somehow adjusted for population. On the other hand, this list does dramatically illustrate the importance of oil & banking in the global economy especially since the 1950s. Notice how the Bush family has been or was deeply involved in both. Also interesting how the impact of new technologies over the past 30 years or so is not reflected in annual GDP per capita by individual countries around the global ... by individual countries around the globe. And maybe that's the point.
