The nation's economy gained some much-needed strength in the third quarter, as the pace of growth nearly doubled compared to the previous three months.

Economists are a little more optimistic about the nation's economic health, but they don't think the sputtering U.S. recovery is out of the woods.

It would be the world's second-biggest economy. See how big companies' sales stack up against GDP over the past decade.

The economy grew at a faster rate than previously thought, according to a government release Friday.

GDP jumped 3.2 percent. That's the highest growth rate since the recession started at the end of 2007. But that was then and this is now.

The underlying reasons are different.

The nation has erected a complex system for magically making its debts disappear, but a look up China's sleeve shows that its IOUs may equal its GDP.

The U.S. economy grew at a rate of 5.7% at the end of last year -- the best in six years. That's good, but you can put much of that gain on the shelf.

Marketplace's John Dimsdale explains.

That may seem like a head-scratcher, but this formula for Gross Domestic Product is actually pretty simple.

Bob Moon explains.

The report from the Economics of Climate Adaptation Working Group found that although climate risks could cost nations up to 19 percent of their GDP by 2030, existing adaptation measures could significantly curb those losses....

Gross Domestic Product only declined 1% in the second quarter. That was better than expected, but is the worst over?

Bob Moon gets to the bottom of the situation.
