The Wealth & Health of Nations
http://bost.ocks.org/mike/nationsThis is a recreation in #D3 of Gapminder’s Wealth & Health of Nations, made famous by Hans Rosling’s memorable 2006 TED talk. It shows the dynamic fluctuation in per-capita income (x), life expectancy (y) and population (radius) of 180 nations over the last 209 years.

Richard Wilkinson : How economic inequality harms societies (Video on TED.com)
http://www.ted.com/talks/lang/eng/richard_wilkinson.htmlWe feel instinctively that societies with huge income gaps are somehow going wrong.

A #Data State of Mind | Think Quarterly
http://thinkquarterly.co.uk/01-data/a-data-state-of-mindHans Rosling interviewé par le nouveau magazine de #Google :

Today, he argues, countries and corporations alike need to adopt that same data-driven understanding of the world if they are to make sense of the changes we are experiencing

Hans Rosling and the magic washing machine
What was the greatest invention of the industrial revolution? Hans Rosling makes the case for the washing machine. With newly designed graphics from Gapminder, Rosling shows us the magic that pops up when economic growth and electricity turn a boring wash day into an intellectual day of reading.
