Thanks for your intelligent contribution. I was mistakenly under the impression FT was US based.
The data for the UK is the same as for the EU and the US. 4% share of global GDP in 1980, 2.4% in 2020 and after Brexit, and their freedom to regulate themselves, the decline continues.
The headline suggests that EU regulations are to blame for their numbers, which makes no sense and has a clear ambition.
The point is, if we want to continue to raise the floor on poverty and wealth in the world, this trend must continue because GDP is still too concentrated in the west.











How could you possibly take three comparable regions with similar trends in data and then claim the actions of only one are to blame. Pick and choose, it’s lazy and poor data analysis.
China is applying the same playbook as the western colonizers did over the past hundreds of years. It will end just the same. Lucky for you, you seem to benefit from it right now, your future generations will pay the price. You can also thank the many ethnic minorities China is exploiting to broaden their influence.
