A Fascinating Way to Look at the World

Before visiting China, I've found it very helpful to wrap my head around some "macro" issues. This past weekend, I got a big boost in that regard when one of my professors shared this site with us. Tool around here on GapMinder's interactive chart.

Some of this is scary, some of this is exciting, and some of it is just plain interesting. If you can find the time, go to the home page, and watch the video offered in the lower left quadrant.

This stuff will come in handy during conversation at your next cocktail party.
