A factual presentation of why we are better off today!

From my mate Bernard Francois.

Without taking credit for it, this is a point of view I have held for years... not withstanding all the world problems, we are all moving in the right direction, and we all have much better lives than our ancestors whom (except for a few privileged ones) lived a life of mere subsistence !

This is a great illustration of what's been going on...


Pretty amazing and the remarkable thing is that it's a relatively optimistic view of the state of the world:
