The short history of global living conditions and why it matters that we know it
Max Roser
“The chart shows that almost 10% of the world's population lives in extreme poverty. It also tells us that two hundred years ago, the same was true for nearly 80% of the world’s population.”
Both numbers matter: the progress is enormous and the remaining 10% is still hundreds of millions of people. Long-run data is the best defense against both complacency and doom.
