The book is accompanied by two websites that host interactive visualizations and expand upon data featured in the book: MIT's [4] and Harvard's. [5] The Atlas was a collaboration between the Center for International Development at Harvard University and the Macro Connections group at the MIT Media Lab. [citation needed]

In economics, a Swan Diagram, also known as the Australian model (because it was originally published by Australian economist Trevor Swan [1] in 1956 to model the Australian economy during the Great Depression), represents the situation of a country with a currency peg. [2]
A macroeconomic model is an analytical tool designed to describe the operation of the problems of economy of a country or a region. These models are usually designed to examine the comparative statics and dynamics of aggregate quantities such as the total amount of goods and services produced, total income earned, the level of employment of productive resources, and the level of prices.
The book showed how operationally meaningful theorems can be described with a small number of analogous methods, thus providing "a general theory of economic theories." It moved mathematics out of the appendices (as in John R. Hicks's Value and Capital ) and helped change how standard economic analysis across subjects could be done with the ...
William Playfair (22 September 1759 – 11 February 1823) was a Scottish engineer and political economist.The founder of graphical methods of statistics, [1] Playfair invented several types of diagrams: in 1786 he introduced the line, area and bar chart of economic data, and in 1801 he published what were likely the first pie chart and circle graph, used to show part-whole relations.

It points out that the economy's fundamental resource flow is not a roundabout of money, but a ...
A differentiable atlas determines a maximal differentiable atlas, consisting of all charts which are differentiably compatible with the given atlas. A maximal atlas is always very large. For instance, given any chart in a maximal atlas, its restriction to an arbitrary open subset of its domain will also be contained in the maximal atlas.
