    This a remarkable graph animation of 200 countries over the last the past 200 years. Life expectancy together with personal income.

    Indications are that the world is moving toward global parity. Since war is often to consequence of disparity perhaps there is a light shining in our future together on this tiny planet.

    Rather strange that Democracy, Capitalism, and Free Enterprise is not mentioned, nor given its due credit in the video for creating such advancements and prosperity…

    True...that plays the major role doesn't it?

    I'd love to have the program and data just to be able to look at specific countries and regions and dates, etc.
