Poverty TED Talk

http://www.ted.com/talks/hans_rosling_reveals_new_insights_on_poverty.html

Dr. Hans Rosling created a very impressive presentation of how the way we view developing countries is completely wrong, and how what we consider valuable when a country is developing is equally wrong. I found it completely fascinating, because poverty is something I have a personal connection to, and it helped to broaden my view of the economic world. Also, at the end he proves how the seemingly impossible goals of a poverty-free world are actually quite acheivable, as is anything you attempt.
