The title of this article is a little misleading (hence my question mark), because I’m pretty sure the US as an individual country is still the largest economy. What the article points out is that the combined market of the European Community, coupled with the strength of the Euro vis-a-vis the US dollar has made it the world’s biggest economy.

BUT … it’s a sign of the times. The more the US dollar plummets, the more we’ll see comparisons like this.

Now … if only there were articles about how much the US military economy is shrinking.
