    In 1981, the year Ronald Reagan became America's 40th President, 44.3 percent of the world lived in extreme poverty (i.e., less than $1.90 per person per day). Last year, it was 9.6 percent. That's a decline of 78 percent. https://buff.ly/2HNG8xX

        No, this figure is adjusted for inflation.

        Technology is largely why. 2 questions: Did it have to be done at the American middle class but not the rich? Has the enslavement of child and nonfree workers the right way to go about sharing modern technology around the world?

        The threshold for 'extreme poverty' is adjusted over time to be pegged to a uniform level of purchasing power. Try again.pic.twitter.com/g5Jbh4lIvt

        It doesn't mention PPP but we can assume that when an economic organization uses prices from different years in the same breath, some price leveling has been implemented to make that data useful.

        Replying to @MattBonesMusic @SeanLeavell1 and

        Despite your contention otherwise, the World Bank article you first provided matches the Human Progress one perfectly, so either they're using the same adjustment scheme, or the two adjustment schemes vary less than one cent.

        Replying to @MattBonesMusic @SeanLeavell1 and

        The first article you link (which is the same article I referenced) discusses some of the difficulties of PPP and how they are reckoned with, ultimately making the point the while PPP is imperfect, it's pretty good.
