An interesting graphic in the Economist looks at the total change in GDP during the 2008/2010 global recession for a selection of major economies. The chart shows that Britain’s slump was not nearly as deep as Japan’s, where GDP contracted by 8.6% from peak to trough.

A good graphic to post up on the IWB
