A new way of looking at "development".

I don't know if you all have seen this already, but there's a fantastic statistician called Prof Rosling, who organises development statistics in a very interesting way. His research shows that we can't think about the "developing" and "developed" world by looking at countries alone.

There is a YouTube video of one of his lectures (where he shows that students in one elite university get lower marks than chimps in a quiz on development) http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=RUwS1uAdUcI

There's lots more on his Gapminder project website, including some very cool interactive graphs.
