I do think it's problematic though that it's just using nations. He mentioned it: Differences within countries cannot be accounted for. So what if 20% of the population gets richer and healthier and the rest stays the same. Then this is pretty misleading... (i'm not having any specific country in mind, i'm just saying...) still a great tool! thank you! really interesting. and it’s great that it’s so easy to grasp as it’s so visual.

Economic growth is the major determinant of health and LE and not the system of care. That's perhaps important for all of us and especially US citizens. However strong economic growth put a terrible strength on natural resources especially in food systems and non renewable energies which are at the present time far more dense in joules than the renewable ones. Does gapminder will release some forecasting videos about that? Thank you very much to share your vision.
