It also shows the foundational measurement statistics (GDP, unemployment, inflation, ...)]]></description>

I don't know what an economy is or how define it, but from reading newspapers:
-Poverty rate
-Unemployment rate
-Growth rate
-Inflation
-Housing/Real Estate
-Export and Consumption

And probably a lot of more things (with fancy words).

What grade are you in?]]></description>

Where did all the maths go? :(

On a related note tho. The Nazis didnt simply put money in swiss banks. The Swiss National Bank actively bought gold from the Nazis and didnt really care if it was stolen or not. At some point they've been the only one buying gold from the Nazis at all and proceeded to do so until April 1945. So is the Swiss wealth based on stolen gold? Not pointing fingers, just saying. :p]]></description>
