AT THE END OF HISTORY:
700 million humans have moved out of deep poverty in the 21st century. Thank capitalism (James Pethokoukis, 7/14/15, AEI Ideas)
Some astonishing figures from Pew Research. From 2001 to 2011, nearly 700 million people globally moved out of poverty, meaning $2 a day or less. And the share of humans who are either poor or low income ($2.01 to $10.00 a day) fell to 71% from 79% as middle-income nearly doubled to 13% from 7%.
