A beautiful demonstration of how to present data - once you get past the intro you will find it hard to stop.

Now if I could just figure out how to show how the hollowing out of our industrial jobs allowed
the Ponzi scheme of the oligarchy to co-opt the wealth and political power of our country for themselves...

1. Hans Rosling has been a favorite of mine for a long time

He's also got a talk over at TED: http://www.ted.com/talks/hans_rosling_shows_the_best_stats_you_ve_ever_seen.html and http://www.ted.com/talks/hans_rosling_reveals_new_insights_on_poverty.html

It's well worth the few minutes to watch.
