> I think we should start separating discussion of “The Economy” from “human prosperity and wellbeing.”

* Extreme poverty is at its lowest level in human history, down by over a billion people since 1990.

* More humans can read, write, and attend school than ever before, especially girls in lower-income countries.

* Global life expectancy has more than doubled compared to 1900

* Most countries continue to rise on human-development measures (health, education, income)

Yes, there's more room to keep improving, but the world keeps getting better & better.
