You say that in jest, but the fact remains that overall standards of living are rising quite rapidly in the developing world – which is most of the world on a total population basis. It’s just rising, to a certain extent, at the expense of the middle class in the developed world, which is a pretty small minority of the world’s population. I think what really bothers you is that while all of this is going on wealth continues to concentrate in the hands of the world’s top 1%, a group that’s becoming farther removed from either of the other two groups. But this doesn’t change the fact in my first sentence.[/quote]
With the gargantuan mosaic of global statistics, one could see many pictures, depending on how you tilt your head and squint our eyes.
