| TheTruthProphet said: Actually the USA makes up 25% of the global economy alone. Nobody else come close in size or scope. Asian manufacturers and Europeans need the Ameican consumer to buy their goods and keep their economies going. |
The percentage of the GDP of the US is quite accurate, but that nobody else comes close is false. Actually the EU is ahead! That manufacturers need American comsumers is right, but so it's the other way round.
Short overview (I know it's just wikipedia, but that'll do it).

The EU is ahead in every list. The worldbank list spares the UK, because they're not part of the Euro-Currency-Zone.
