Surely the U.S. isn't exactly an economic underdog, though?
- hermitdev 8y agoNope. Still #1 in GDP. From 2017 [1], top 10 economies: 1. US - $19.42T GDP (25% of world GDP) 2. China - $11.8T GDP 3. Japan - $4.84T GDP 4. Germany - $3.42T GDP 5. UK - $2.5T GDP 6. India - $2.45T GDP 7. France - $2.42T GDP 8. Brazil - $2.14T GDP 9. Italy - $1.81T GDP 10. Canada - $1.6T GDP Personally, the one that shocked me is Italy, what with the all you see about the country's debt problems, but I hear a lot of that is due to corruption and tax evasion.
