Comparisons of national wealth are frequently made based on nominal GDP and savings (not just income), which do not reflect differences in the cost of living in different countries (see List of countries by GDP (nominal) per capita); hence, using a PPP basis is arguably more useful when comparing generalized differences in living standards ...

On the whole, PPP per capita figures are less spread than nominal GDP per capita figures. [5] The rankings of national economies over time have changed considerably; the economy of the United States surpassed the British Empire's output around 1916, [6] which in turn had surpassed the economy of the Qing dynasty in aggregate output decades earlier.
