I love this talk (and anything from Hans Rosling), showing the world is on the whole, improving.

And for the readers among us:

Quote:
In The Birth of Plenty, William Bernstein, the bestselling author of The Four Pillars of Investing, presents his provocative, highly acclaimed theory of why prosperity has been the engine of civilization for the last 200 years.

Must go reread that one.

I have no doubts that there are many things that get better in the world, not just this list of 18 things.

The question is how do I participate in it, namely what stocks do I buy? Good things do not mean much, if you have no dough to pay for it.

Also, what are the things that get worse, so that you avoid them?
