| 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. |

Another great presentation by Hans Rosling. A powerful picture of convergence, but I am very concerned about the too-brief mention that the world is converging on an _unsustainable_ pattern of socioeconomic relationships.
Are nation states and global institutions willing and able to enough to change course and converge toward a more sustainable future? Might the world soon ~diverge~ when physical limits (”peak” everything) trigger violent competition for scarce resources as we seek false “progress” as defined by GDP and material things?

[...] 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. And in such a comprehensible shape and form that it put EIU and PRR to shame. [...]

I would like to see a “corruption” graph as well. I have a feeling the world is turning more and more corrupt these days, and the end result may just be a black swan.
The political and economic system is not an establishment. It is a belief system that is failing.
If this convergense is supposed to continue, we’ll need a new mindset. A mindset that might just have to change its very roots.

I quite agree with Joe, there is no statiscal data on corruption and the only convergence known and shown is UP, which means so called ” development” which is always based not only on people’s health (whatever this may means) and certainly on socio economic development. This in turn means that people seek more resources and develop the needs to own more and more materials, tools, money, space, ownership needs develop with convergence. Resources become scarces and the world develop new problem parallel to corruption which was not shown on the graphics.
What percentage of the population has remained uncorrupted compared to the percentage of the population which became more corrupt over the past century as a result of technological development and convergence?
Does convergence equals population growth, and if yes what percentage of the poorer population made it thru to the average wealthier population? What pecentage of poor people have suffered more as a consequence of convergence?
Is there a percentage which is never shown on any graphics? The very percentage which provide intellectual resources and is never awarded the fruit of their work? Or would this percentage be represented only by the poor convergence of Afghanistan with the rest of the world.
This is existence thru ownership and “socio” economic development via corruption not mentioned.

Fantastic presentations!!!I wish Hans could present on the “Statistics-knowledge-policy chain: measuring progress”
