Hans Rosling Video

We watched a video called Hans Rosling 200 years in four minutes. He had a chart with years on the y axis, from 25 up to 75 years. The x axis is money up to $40,000 GDP per capita. In the left bottom corner was poor and sick. The right top corner is healthy and rich. 200 years ago life expectancy was 40. The United Kingdom and the Netherlands were the best off living wise until a little past 40 years. Asia and Africa didn't participate in industrial evolution. In 1948 countries were spread all across the graph. In 1948 Africa was still at the bottom. Provinces in China like Shanghai is doing as good as Italy even though China was much farther down. Age, trade, green technology, and peace will help all countries reach healthy rich corner, this is what Hans Rosling thinks. Unfortunately this has not happened.
