About this talk:
In the talk at the US State Department in the summer of 2009, Hans Rosling showed the overall global trends in health and income over the last 200 years, the development of the HIV/AIDS-epidemic and how China is catching up on the richest countries.
It was also the 500th TED-talk of all times.
From TED:s webpage:
Talking at the US State Department this summer, Hans Rosling uses his fascinating data-bubble software to burst myths about the developing world. Look for new analysis on China and the post-bailout world, mixed with classic data shows.

[...] Hans Rosling and Google together have done more for statistics with their tool, their presentation and their data aggregation than all of the forty odd text books I have read on the subject in my entire life. GDP, Income, Poverty, Child Mortality, Trade, Investment, you name it, they have got it from the late 1800’s to early 2007.
