Ready to have your world view changed, with a video about the statistics of poverty, even though that video is already more than a year old? :-) [ ok, so I'm late to the party on this one. ]
Hans Rosling, demonstrates why policy makers should be thinking about each place in the world with a fine toothed comb.
UPDATE: also a must see... the follow-up talk in 2007.
Pointed out to me by Ernest at AMG Media, it's a video in the venerable TED Series that should be required watching for everyone.
I wish mainstream journalism would take up this method of showing information. Has anyone seen any good examples of statistics-meets-understanding in the mainstream media? Do let me know if anything along those lines pops to mind.
