This is a different map but ultimately says the same thing:
Yes and no. A country of sufficient size will never have all regions who are economically equivalent because not all territory is equal.
Yes, locations of international trade are bound to be wealthier than regions with limited to no natural resources.
With respect:
Yes, thanks. I searched and found your original map, which had a link to their source, which was a broken link. This gives slightly more information: the pockets are metropolitan areas.
Not equal and very unequal are two very different things.
I plan to start a thread on neoliberalism that includes this map.
Billionaires put money in banks, and banks lend that money to the average Joe to buy a house, a car or say start a business.Oh yes, taxing the rich and large companies, what a stupid idea.
What was I thinking?
Much better to just let billionaires put billions in bank accounts instead and let companies do stock buybacks so the rich get even richer as they're the main stockholders.
You really have been fully brainwashed into the trickle down fantasy.

You can't really lay the blame for ports being economic hubs as the product of neoliberalism. That's been a fact of life since we invented ports.
With respect:
I wish there were more information on what accounts for the majority of economic activities in those metropolitan areas. Those areas being metropolitan is more important than some of them having ports.
What would the world do with that money? After all Putin is by far the richest person on the planetBillionaires are a tiny fraction of any banks business.
They would still have money to lend if the world decided to tax all of them 90% of all their money tomorrow.
They're epicenters of our economy; trade, finance, services, and manufacturing.
With respect:
Would you like to offer your interpretation of the original GDP map that you posted? As in, what are your comments on what the map shows?

Buying votes?Governments could use the money to help their people.
I see no problem with that
The economic reality that our states are not equivalent in their productivity.
This isn't new or unique to the United States either.
With respect:
Of course, because capitalism and neoliberalism aim for and thrive on inequalities.
Regions not having economic equality predates both capitalism and neoliberalism.
With respect:
A lot of people are using the line "this predates that." So what? What does that really mean? You're trying to dismiss the effects of current socioeconomics by saying that there have always been socioeconomics.
Well no, my point is that economic inequality of territory is inevitable because different lands don't carry the same value for a variety of reasons. Are you seeking a deeper explanation of why land is valued differently?
Texas has the second largest economy besides California and the liberals would just flee the blue states after they destroy them all, like normal.Separating would be a disaster for Red America. They would instantly become third world.

Buying votes?
The cynicism is clear here.
They could use the money on infrastructure or other large projects that people will use.
