> More than one billion people have lifted themselves out of extreme poverty, driven by improvements in health, agriculture, and education. I don't understand, is the increasing inequality and income concentration a mirage, a lie, or propaganda? It would be nice to introduce the concept of relative and absolute wealth. If you increase the size of the cake, the poor will get more crumbs, and you did reduce poverty, but it's not really a fair improvement. I wish Bill Gates would have to guts to do politics. He seems smart but to me it's never enough.
