Commanding Heights Country Data Page

http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/commandingheights/lo/countries/index.html

The website based on the PBS miniseries, based on the book, based on the Lenin quote. Pulitzer Prize Winner Daniel Yergin shows his clout with a fancy website to accompany a PBS documentary on his book, Commanding Heights. Better data for more countries can be had elsewhere, but the site's notable for a user-friendly design and great historical information, including graphs back to 1945. Data coverage includes the basics: growth, employment, inflation, trade.

KEYWORDS: growth statistics, income statistics, inflation statistics
