World Bank has updated the world’s GDP GDP at purchasing power parity (PPP) The organization estimates that Russia in the top four economies of the world, ahead of Japan. Russia also became the first country in this list of Europe, ahead of Germany. The GDP data presented are based on official country data published by the World Bank and IMF in purchasing power parity terms.

The PPP was introduced in the 30 years of the 20th century into the practice of statistics in the UK to objectively assess the defense potential of countries.
Russia
Nominal GDP in Current U.S. Dollars: $2.06 trillion
PPP Adjusted GDP in Current International Dollars: $5.47 trillion
GDP Growth: 3.2%
Nominal GDP Per Capita in Current U.S. Dollars: $14, 39013
Russia is the world’s 11th-largest economy.

Nominal GDP simply indicates who has more money. But, as we all see, money is not smeared on bread, and do not pour into the tank. It is the physical availability of goods and services that is important. And therefore GDP on PPPs is much more important.

There will be this awareness that we need to rethink how the money system works, we need to get out of a debt-based economy. We cannot allow a small power elite to create money and reap the profit from lending it with interest. This is something that the state needs to take on, and the state needs to be in control of the money system so that only the state benefits and thereby the people benefit. If the state makes money off of money, people do not have to pay so much taxes.

It needs to be seen that the only institution in society that has a right to make money off of money is the state. The state, of course, cannot go into the many forms of schemes that the capitalists have come up with in order to manipulate the economy because the state has no interest in manipulating the economy. It simply has an interest in creating a money system that allows for the greatest amount of creativity, movability of the money, the greatest ability to finance new businesses. This will promote a growth in the economy, and the more the economy grows, the more it is in the interest of all of the people and also, of course, in the interest of the state. These are very, very dramatic shifts compared to what you have today but they are not so unrealistic that they are so far off. It can come to that point where there is such an awareness of the existence of power elites that they will very quickly be put out of commission by the democratic nations. There will be either a raised awareness of how the power elites work and how anti-democratic it is, or there would be an awareness that if we do not reform the money system, then our economies, our debt-based economies, are going to collapse. The debt has reached such proportions that no country can pay it back and it is, in fact, in no way democratic, in no way in accordance with the democratic ideals, that the population of an entire country are enslaved financially so that for the next many decades a majority of their resources will go to pay back the interest to a small power elite. How is this democracy? How is this freedom? How is this allowable in a democratic nation, in a democratic world?
