About this data

• The trend grows GDP per person from its 2007 level at its average yearly growth rate between 1955 and 2007.
• This shows how much slower growth has been since 2008, not what would have happened otherwise: growth before 2008 was helped by things, such as a fast-growing financial sector, that couldn't have lasted.
