Economic comparison of England and the US

I have chosen real GNP over GDP as I feel that real GNP gives a more accurate and realistic view of the nations income in comparison to others. This will help in comparing the UK and US as it will take into account the trading that each country does with the rest of the world and will therefore give us a picture of how strong an economy it is.
             Unemployment measures the amount of a nation's population that are without jobs. This is a good economic indicator as it allows us to make various assumptions about the state of the economy.

Inflation is a good economic indicator, as like unemployment it can be used to make assumptions about other areas f the economy. For example, printing money to fill a large deficit is a source of inflation , this could be because a country is trying to get itself out of debt.

I will now go onto explain how one could use these to assess the likely economic performance of the US and UK between the years 2003-2006 and 2030-2040.
             The European Union (EU) is growing in strength year by year and over the next three to four decades it will increase its economic power. The recent introduction of the Euro, and the growing number of countries applying to join (e.
