CSU 9/2011:  HANS ROSLING: LET  MY DATASET  CHANGE YOUR MINDSET
 
 
Does it make much sense to view the developing world through the rear view mirror? If China and Mexico are developing countries, why do their data look like the US data?
 
 
Note his comments on Demographic and Health Surveys, www.measuredhs.com

Motorneuron disease in areas with cultivation (which he studied in Mozambique) gets less prominent display than it deserves.
 
His website is www.gapminder.org
 
Good viewing.
