1993 saw us still in recession. It would be interesting to see a 1997/2005 comparison.

Both the US and the UK just recovering from a recession that year.

So it does.
How does it look using straight currency conversions or a multi-year average currency conversion as opposed to PPP?I used 2002 PPPs, and adjusted the growth rate for the UK as a whole to account for the discrepancy in methodology (using the average discrepancy relative to PPP data for the period 1970-2002)I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891Comment
