Hans Rosling Data on Economic Development and Health Results

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.

“The worldview students have corresponds to reality the year their teachers were born”

The software he uses, the very cool Gapminder world, developed by his son and bought by Google is available online.

He also correctly congratulates the USA for providing free data it has collected worldwide, for decades, on world health. And correctly criticizes the World Bank for selling the data they compile using taxpayer funds.
