(I'm using the 2019 IMF numbers)
The USA has a GDP (PPP) of $21.4 Trillion
The World GDP is 141.8 Trillion
21.4 / 141.8 = 15%
Our economy isn't shrinking. It continues to grow year over year. However, other countries are growing faster so our percentage of the pie continues to shrink.
Of course this is completely understandable considering that the USA is only 4.25% of the global population. We are still punching WAY above our weight but demographics march on. We would have a shrinking population today without inbound immigration.
