For the first time ever, the number of poor people is declining everywhere
This is a tiny change.  Almost half of the world still lives for less than $2.00 per day.Amazing that we can look at those statistics and think that there is significant progress or not be distressed by the inequality.If you honestly assess this fact that almost half live for less than $2.00 per day versus the "first world" consumption then you will come to the conclusion, as I have, that civilization is a myth.  This is incredibly unjust.
