Call me crazy, but i'm not sure this chart actually tells us anything useful.

On it's face it looks like the economy is getting smaller?

I mean, should we expect businesses to grow forever?

I mean, Walmart has a bigger GDP then Norway.


Plus i mean look at that spread.   It's so low at  1979... despite 1979 just being an awful year for the economy.
