I have to write a summary paper for a class I’m doing for my masters degree, and since the professor running the seminar this semester specializes in data visualization, the paper has to be related to that. Being the aspiring Marxist that I am, I figured international trade between countries (what commodities are being exported/imported, which countries are exporting to/importing from whom, what fraction of a country’s imports/exports are of a specific commodity, etc.) would be a good choice. While I’m going to look for papers myself, I figured I would have a higher likelyhood finding someone into that stuff on Lemmygrad compared to other online spaces.
Did you Google this yet? Because I did and the world Bank website seems to have some nice graphs that I have spent 5 seconds looking over https://wits.worldbank.org/trade-visualization.aspx
That looks like a good resource.
Don’t forget to check the references to find more resources.
The OECD has some good sources for data and viz on trade, as well as many other topics related to global economics.

Just be aware that it’s a liberal institution.
