What is Factfulness Ten Reasons We're Wrong About the World - and Why Things Are Better Than You Think about?

What percentage of the global population lives in poverty? How many girls finish basic education in poor countries? What is the life expectancy in the world today? Most people answer these questions and others like them incorrectly. For what is this? This book explains why we are more pessimistic than we really should be given the actual situation in our world.Hans Rosling, an eminence in the analysis and dissemination of global trends, claims that we have ten instincts that distort our vision. From our tendency to divide the world into two camps (us against them) to the way we consume information from the media (based on the exploitation of fear), to the way we perceive progress (believing that things always get worse). Our problem is that we are not aware of what we do not know, and even when we are informed we are carried away by unconscious and predictable biases.Because, despite all its imperfections, the economic and social reality of the world is much better than we think, which does not mean that there are no reasons to worry or issues that require urgent improvement. There are many problems to solve, but the data tells us that the world is getting better and betterInspirin
