I noticed that of the affluent countries in the world, the US has the most money and the worst healthcare… (I also noticed the excellent points that he was also making about the “developing world,” but I couldn’t resist commenting narcissistically like a good American)

Awesome video. It’s really good to know that the world is “flattening out” as the professor put it.
I’ll bet that guy is one of the best teachers you could ever have.

“It’s really good to know that the world is “flattening out” as the professor put it.”
I’m pretty sure Hans Rosling borrowed the terminology from Thomas Friedman’s The World is Flat. You should check it out if you like the idea.
