Graphs of the Year

Unread postby Loki » Wed 01 Jan 2014, 01:14:08

The Washington Post is running an interesting series on “graphs of the year.” Below are a few. Anybody have any to add?

Vaclav Smil’s graph of the year: The natural-gas boom

Sheila Bair’s graph of the year: For many Americans, there’s been no recovery at all

Alan Greenspan’s graph of the year: Businesses are (still) holding back on investment

I am partial to this on, I think the story it tells is compelling.

I guess this is my favorite because if you ignore everything below the black line, you can read anything you want into that little green patch on top.

Hey Pops, can you split that graph into one showing just declining production countries in one sde and just increasing ones on the other? The one you use tells the world total story, but I think the gainers are more interesting than the total world.
