I saw this video (15 mins0) about world health wealth statistics—or, making these statistics availible to people. He has some cool graphical representations that show what the world is like, without having to pore over lists of numbers.

So, that is what our world is like. Good to know, what is going on, if we are to make it better…
You can play around with the charts yourself, if you don’t want to sit through the whole presentation. It is a pretty nifty program. http://tools.google.com/gapminder
But the presentation has more information, including exerpts from this:
human-development-trends
Which gives information about world incomes.
Just some interesting information. I think it will help me spot half-truths in the propaganda I constantly hear.
