Past 200yrs, the world has gone from more than 90% being poor to less than 10% being poor It is one of the most amazing signs of global progress https://twitter.com/BillGates/status/1086662632587907072 …pic.twitter.com/MXOHeu3Qoj
But this is too good for Guardian, claiming it "couldn't be more wrong" 1) Argues $1.90 is silly, because people in the 1800s didn't need money "in order to live well" Really? Most people lived terrible, short lives just above subsistence minimum https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2019/jan/29/bill-gates-davos-global-poverty-infographic-neoliberal …
2) Argues that higher poverty line of $7.40 shows # people increased dramatically since 1981: things getting worse Really? The percentage has declined from 71% to 58%, which means better And the author knows this: he wrote those numbers himself last year https://www.cgdev.org/blog/12-things-we-can-agree-about-global-poverty …pic.twitter.com/bCLL3SSH2L
It's an opinion piece.
