Thank you for the great design! Data do not need to put people to sleep!
Nevertheless, correlation of wealth and health in developmental contrast between South Korea and Brazil have to be looked at in both an exterior and interior lense. What interior values and cultural norms are the cause of heavier emphasis on health? And what institutional as well as cultural prerequisites are there for collective health development
I think because we realize that having exterior resources and money does not guarantee faster development, then we can see that interior development, e.g. cultural, values, psychological, that determines where the resources are efficiently allocated…are important pieces of the pie.
I would like to introduce an integral approach to world development. (google it)
But thanks again for the excellent design. Looking forward for more excellent works.
Hans & company, nice work! I’m very much inspired by your ideas and efforts and will be sharing this information with everyone i know!
Thanks!

I attended the InnoTown 08 in Stavagner and your presentation was different from the rest. It made every tihng interesting and the datas were just fantastic to watch.
Thankyou for doing a wonderful job for the poor and unhealty.
Is the program available to promote/show other statistics ?
Please let us know if you have the world chart for 2007 & 2008.
Thanks
Tracy
How can I get this wonderful software? I’m amazed how powerful it is!!!!
I really like how this site is truly bridging a connection to data by creating a user friendly software. In all, this site is actually saving time and much headache for people who are going to be needing valuable information. It is too frustrating to look for information as it is all raw and can be very scattered. It is like using binary code to execute a command. Not everybody sees and understands binary code but everybody can see its product and work with it.
The possibility that the affected people are impaired only in recursion is a non-starter. ,
I would to use the version 2006 of WGP.
I would like to have the latest updated version of the World Health Chart. Thanks in advance.
Dear Grisell Pérez Hoz,
You had good timing on your request, the map has just been updated and can be downloaded from the link above.

Thanks for sharing the gapmainder graphs.
Hopefully, rather than statistically understanding historical data, people around the world will have a good opportunity to think about what the real reasons would be.
This is the first time to see such an excellent work.
Our statistic teacher played the whole work in the class. It’s fantastic and unbelievavle.Thanks for the sophsitic job.
I really get a lot from your work. So much Thanks!
despite the overall good quality of your chart, you appear to have Cuba grossly misplaced(by a factor of 4). with the recent move away from dollarization $2500/person GDP (Wikipedia on Cuba) may be overly optimistic. is this an error? or are you fearful of offending vested interests or donors?
$9000/yr??? for the military officer corps & top of the bureaucracy maybe.
again, thanks for your effort.

Amazing .Confucius said that a picture is worth as 1000 words.
Exelence job

thank you
this subject is very good thank you very much for this information
GDP per capita may not be the best indicator for quality of life, especially if sustainability and equitable distribution of income are considered. It might be interesting to contrast GDP per capita with ‘Footprint’ trends over the same time-frames. An example is given in: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecological_footprint

Thank you so much for providing this map.
I downloaded the PowerPoint version of the map, but I can’t seem to open it with PowerPoint 2007 (indicates can’t read the file). Any idea why it won’t work?
Hello!
You’ve done an amazing job and I just wanted to thank you!
I’m a student in economics and this web-page has provided a great service for me.
