This list is also missing (i.e. list of top beneficial owners by nationality). Forbes' List of high net worth individuals/billionaires helps but this is different. I suspect however some TRILLIONAIRES/families are missing ( if they exist). 47.17.16.137 ( talk)
World factbook cites 73.6% of GDP (2015 est.) and US treasury department "102% of GDP".
@ Avatar317: Regarding [1], the original source of those graphs is Emmanuel Saez and Gabriel Zucman, who are renowned authorities on the topic, from their book The Triumph of Injustice: How the rich dodge taxes and how to make them pay. Do you think they are inaccurate or misleading, or otherwise unworthy of inclusion in the Taxation section? Δπ ( talk) 03:18, 7 February 2023 (UTC)
I notice that across our "Economy of..." articles, in the infobox, we tend to use the IMF's GDP estimates for 2022, as opposed to the actual figure for 2021. We don't even mark the figure as an estimate, and IMO it seems more encyclopedic to use actual figures even if slightly older. I've reviewed the archives and seen no previous discussion of this, but one may have taken place on another page that I've missed.
In the infobox, for the GDP figures, what should we do?

This page keeps getting vandalized and I am tired of doing cleanup. It should be semi-protected. Wlong243 ( talk) 17:45, 27 August 2023 (UTC)
