Christ­mas comes early for chart porn addicts this year, cour­tesy of Gold­man Sachs which has com­piled its top 100 favorite charts together in one place.

As Goldman's Hugo Scott-Gall. says:

This is a sup­ple­men­tary chart book to our final Fort­nightly Thoughts of the year. In it, we take the best charts that we have pub­lished through­out the year and rearrange them to tell the story of the world. Our story is not just of 2011, but also of the years to come, as the world changes at a rapid clip. What fol­lows is a quick read, and hope­fully an enjoy­able one.

How­ever, there?s a very seri­ous thread run­ning through the fol­low­ing pages. It?s one of realign­ment, as the dif­fer­ent speeds of the world's economies are shown starkly through a mul­ti­tude of lenses, includ­ing growth in con­sump­tion, resources, num­ber of cities, favourite brands, farm­ing yields, trad­ing part­ners and the role and size of government.

When seen together, the big­ger pic­ture of the vis­i­ble and less vis­i­ble changes in the world becomes clearer. Our sub­ject mat­ter is drawn from a myr­iad of areas, from the struc­ture of global trade to the world?s high­est paid sports teams.
