Global economic inequality
This is an article in the Economist (March 11th 2004) describing the disagreements about the evolution of poverty in the world in the last couple of decades. The numbers of people living on one dollar a day or less may have stayed even, or it may have decreased, according to whose data you believe.
Big deal. Living on two dollars a day is bad enough to scare me. I lived for a while on just under three dollars a day, back when a dollar went a lot further, and I don't recommend it!
