Historical GDP per capita follows each country's output per person back to 1820, in 2011 international dollars, from the Maddison Project Database. It joins economic historians' reconstructions of old national accounts onto modern statistics, so that incomes two centuries apart can be set on one scale.

Historical GDP per Capita (Maddison), 1967 covers 149 countries. Qatar is highest, at 55,566; Botswana is lowest, at 719. The middle country reads 3,489. Against 1966, 149 values changed (116 up, 33 down), the same countries are covered.
