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), 2010 covers 166 countries. Qatar is highest, at 134,803; DR Congo is lowest, at 637. The middle country reads 10,721. Against 2009, 166 values changed (144 up, 22 down), the same countries are covered.
