Hans Rosling (1948–2017)
Swedish physician, academic, and public speaker. Co-founder of the Gapminder Foundation, which developed this visualization to fight global misconceptions with data.
"The world cannot be understood without numbers. But the world cannot be understood with numbers alone."
Rosling's final book, completed by his son and daughter-in-law after his death. It reveals the ten instincts that distort our perspective—and shows why the world is in better shape than you think.
