The graph shows the average annual growth of gross domestic product in wealthy countries, globalisers, and non-globalisers from the 1960s to the 1990s.
Overall, GDP growth in globalisers increased significantly over the period, while wealthy countries experienced a gradual decline. The figures for non-globalisers showed some fluctuations.
In the 1960s, wealthy countries had the highest GDP growth at just under 5%, whereas globalisers recorded the lowest figure at about 1.5%. Over time, the growth rate of globalisers rose sharply and reached around 5% in the 1990s, becoming the highest among the three groups. In contrast, GDP growth in wealthy countries fell steadily to approximately 2% by the end of the period.
Regarding non-globalisers, their GDP growth increased slightly from about 2.5% in the 1960s to just over 3% in the 1970s. It then decreased to around 2.3% in the 1980s before dropping further to about 1.5% in the 1990s.
