Those are pictures of the way the world has always been. It’s just now, in the last few decades, that we’ve had the global wealth to turn it around.
Pick your own graph if you don’t like this one. There are hundreds more showing the same massive decline in poverty.
The reduction in poverty has been stunning in my lifetime (born 1971). I’ve seen shit in America that literally has no comparison in modern times. But I’m sure some 20-yo will come along and tell me it’s a hellscape out there. LOL, should have seen black people in 1977 Louisiana.
I know two things; I’ve studied history, though I’m more ignorant than I wish. And I’ve lived history. Not sure how fast y’all expect times to change, but times are changing faster than at any other point in our civilizations.
It’s interesting to point that out because China is still is capitalistic. Just more state capitalism?
Ya know, I would love to read a book on China on this topic. Like how what have they done to get where they are.

Most poverty reduction this century has been in China. Poverty levels flatten out if you exclude them from the data.
