Statistical Information

[Zingu]

I'm not very hot at economics, I was wondering if anyone knows where I could find statistics of the overall amount of capital made by America in forgien countries (Imperialism), with statistics of how much of it from each country.

Anyone understand what I'm trying to get at?

i think I ran across something like that on the united nations website, or one of the organizations affiliated with it. I know even today, the number of items imported to the Congo roughly makes up 20% of their exports; meaning there's a serious lack of capital in the country, and someone's taking it out. Or so that's what the history professors I've talked to have told me. I don't have anything to validate it, so take it with a grain of salt.

There are several you want to look at:
Bureau of Labor Statistics (http://bls.gov/)

Bureau of Economic Analysis (http://www.bea.gov/) You should start here


More references (http://bls.gov/bls/other.htm)

You might have to go the nation's bureau of economic stats and see how much of the capital's from the US. That'd be harder, you would need specific countries to look for.

At any rate, I hope this helps!
