The World Economic Tail
Kiva – The purpose of this website is to help The Long Tail of the human race to develop. The idea of Kiva is based upon MicroEconomics (a recent winner of the Nobel Prize solidifies the world opinion of microeconomics – it is here to stay, at least for a while).
I have always thought that helping out people far away was good. But I never really put the numbers to it.
Lets say (all of these numbers come from the CIA Factbook..heh)…
(Notable issue with numbers – nothing reported for the Vatican City)
US Economy = $12,982,323,352,500/year
World Economy = $79,422,560,891,818/year
Per Capita World: $11,327
Per Capita US: $43,500
If we remove 300,000,000 Americans from the math we are left with:
World Population = 6,712,879,586
World Economy = $66,440,237,539,318/year
Per Capita = $9,897
If we remove the top 40 countries, we are left with…
World Population = 5,619,236,117 (80% of the people)
World Economy = $32,895,685,600,218 (41% of the business)
Per Capita = $5854.12
Imagine…bringing up the poorest 80% of the world simply up the to average of the entire world ($11,327)…
80% at $11,327 = $63,653,332,143,109
New Grand Totals
World Economy = $110,180,207,434,709
Per Capita = $15,714
The world Economy grew 72%. Even the rich should want this…

Of course a stinging rebuke of that logic...
We cannot, with the current version of Earth we have, create that much product and raise that much standard total standard of living without destroying our planet. We will need to begin the mining of asteroids, the Moon and Mars. Our technologies of creating and utilizing energy will have to evolve exponentially before it will overtake the planet. We have a large volume of work to do before we can even conceive that kind of growth.
