The world extreme poverty index

Link is to a graphic found via Instapundit. The graph shows the proportion of the world living on $2.00 a day or less in constant dollars from 1820 to the present.

Present this graph to the next snowflake, prog, or social justice wanker and ask them how it happened. Hint: it wasn't Marxism...
