the subject-line is of course provocative, http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2010/12/22/wealth-and-hea lth-of-200-countries-in-the-world-over-last-200-years.aspx is a must watch video what rossling shows is almost 200 years of uninterrupted progress in terms of poverty and health, and that the west and the global south are actually converging quite contrary to the usual narrative from some on the left rossling does not deny inequalities, but subsumes them under a broader narrative of social progress, and he stresses that even most laggard have very broadly progressed in health and life expectancy of course the great missing ingredient in here is the third axis of environmental externalities, resource depletion etc .. 2 questions: 1) are rosling figures sound? 2) how would that third axis change the picture ....
