- beat 8y agoMy new favorite factoid... the percentage of people living in extreme poverty (less than $2/day) has dropped from 29% to just 9% in the past 20 years alone. The mind boggles. We've made as much progress against extreme poverty in the past 20 years as the past 20,000 years. Two thirds of it, just gone. Looking at the angry headlines of the day is a very misleading way of understanding the world.
