For a fact-based worldview

The Gapminder Foundation has tested people on basic global development trends – and most seem completely misinformed about how the world looks. Speaking at Science Unlimited 2019, Anna Rosling Rönnlund dismantled the three mega-misconceptions shaping our worldview and showed what the world really looks like, in ways everyone could understand.
