Good video, do you know how old it is? The rates of people living in extreme poverty is definitely less than what he says, so we are doing some things right. It's important to keep doing those things and more

Europe has become FUBAR and you want to follow in their footsteps? I think not.

Your comment about the age of the video insinuates that the situation has changed appreciably. ROFL. It has not. Not even close.

Whether or not we consider historic drops in extreme poverty 'appreciable' is unimportant It has been happening slowly and consistently over the past couple centuries. It seems this lecture uses numbers from around 2005-06 (though the video itself may have been from later, data in these areas is usually a few years behind). In the years since then rates of extreme poverty has fallen by about 5%. Any decrease like this is good. Continuing to see these drops in the future is just as important.

A good discussion on rates of change of extreme poverty, skip right to the graphics to see the basics: http://www.un.org/esa/socdev/rwss/docs/2010/chapter2.pdf
