  It has been shown that the long term evolution of the Gross Product of the
World after World War II can be well portrayed by the exponential function with
the crossover at the year 1973, cinsiding with the Oil Crisis onset. For the
the Standard and Poor 500 index the single exponential behavior extends down to
at least the mid of the nineteen century. It is notable that the detailed
short-term insight focused on the last quarter of century revealed the
emergence of the power like dependence. However, such dependences can be
introduced only when taking into account the behavior at reference-baselines
years. The possible relationship to the growth/death evolution of
microorganisms is also discussed. The report proposes the new discussion of the
past and nowadays time of the global economy. It recalls econonophysics and
sociophysics as disciplines within which the effective parameterization of
trends is possible. Finally, possible future trends are discussed.
