What a strange article. It seems to be saying that the dramatic reduction in the number of poor people over the past two decades doesn't matter because the poorest person in the world now is just as poor as the poorest person in the world was in 1990. I'm pretty sure that the people who were poor in 1990 and aren't poor any more would differ.
