The world's economy is worth over 100 trillion dollars, and over half of this comes from just five countries.
The top two, China and the USA, account for 42% of global GDP.
Last year, India overtook the UK to become the world's fifth largest economy.
Goldman Sachs expects India to keep growing, becoming the third largest economy by the year 2050, and overtaking the USA by 2075.
If we add the next 5 largest economies, we have two thirds of world GDP, while the top 25 comprise 84%.
This leaves 167 nations which make up only 16% of the global economy.
These countries consist of over 3 billion people, and yet their combined GDP is less than that of China alone.
