200 years that changed the world (with Hans Rosling)

For the first time, Gapminder can now visualize change in life expectancy and income per person over the last two centuries. In this Gapminder video, Hans Rosling shows you how all the countries of the world have developed since 1809 - 200 years ago.

The interactive animations and corresponding documentation are freely available at www.gapminder.org/world.
Further information and other videos are available from www.gapminder.org/videos.

@dodododa well i just want to say that if he's looking at a income per capita chart, this is a very good visualization. But if he's saying that rising income per capita leads to higher life expectancy, maybe colonialism or imperialism or war is the confounding factor that directly affects the two variables.

@MrBigEnchilada Small countries like Sweeden and Australia have much higher average income than the rest, so they go very far to the right. If he zoomed out just to keep those couple of countries on the screen, it would make everything too small.

Thank you for the presentation. We used it at our Sunday Service in Stockholm to show the hope. I hope you do not mind to include your video clip at our recording.
