I found a perfect way to convey some of the recent arguments about distribution of income: Gapminder produced a presentation on Human Development Trends in the form of several animated visualizations, including:
- World income distribution
- Regional income distribution
- The distribution of poverty
- Regional differences in health and income
- Income and health of countries
- Same income, different health
- Development directions
- Differences within countries
- Child deaths
Once you’re done going through the presentation, you may want to spend some additional time playing with the data with the interactive tool.
Gapminder is a non-profit venture for development and provision of free software that visualise human development.
Gapminder is a great visualization tool, and an eye-opener. Thanks for the link.
