Nice and informative graphic. What is the source of the data? I suspect it's noted in the fine print which I can't make out. Seems a bit speculative in the out-years.
The more I look, the more I see. At first I thought you were just showing how the rank order would change. Now I see that the size of the circles indicates the relative size of the GDP. So you can see how much each country grows - China not only goes from last place to second, but from a speck to an orb - but how the three big economies dwarf the rest in 2050. I'd be curious to see how it would look if you threw in the EU as a whole.
Nice job. Your chart tells a dramatic and even shocking story. Got me thinking about how we can better present our country data at my company.

@ nb Hi and thanks. The data 1970-2005 comes from the world bank. The forecasting data 2005-2050 come from the Goldman Sachs BRIC's report.
Joe - is it possible for me to reference this graphic for a presentation I'm making? Many thanks.
