This book is very academic and for me, it was hard to get through it at times. Some numbers, like military might, weren't explained in enough detail for me. For example, is it just military spending or a number made up of multiple aspects?
The part of the book regarding history was interesting and for me sometimes new or at least looked at from a new perspective. 
Overall, I can only recommend this book if you have a specific reason to read it. Maybe you are a huge history nerd who's interested in economic as well, or you are an investor. Then this might make sense to read. 
Although the data is from 2021. So, you'll probably need to look up the current numbers on the mentioned website.

A tad repetitive, but has loads of interesting knowledge.
