Envisioning the End of Poverty
This duet of presentations from the 2006 and 2007 TEDTalks are some of the most enlightening talks I’ve ever had the pleasure of listening to.
A previous advisor of the World Health Organization and co-founder of the Gapminder Foundation, Hans Rosling’s poignant humor and advanced thinking helps to clarify the myths and misconceptions regarding so-called 1st World and 3rd World Nations.
Statistics was never one of my more favorite subjects. However, imagine if statistics was described through a series of graphics that can go on to transform our misconceptions about what is a developing and developed nation.
