This is a fantastic video illustrating the progress made over the past 200 years in the world and the impact that this has had on the wealth distribution, as well as the life expectancy of people.

It is a fascinating video since it takes statistics about the world and countries and present it in such a way that one can map it in a very visual way against time.

The information is supplied by gapminder.organd the software that they use to create this video is set up to give you different perspectives on other aspects of the world as well, in fact, they have hundreds of indicators that can be used to get different perspectives of the world in an interactive fashion.
