About the Original Book: In Factfulness, Rosling has compiled a life of work and research into a call-to-action for reason, rationality, and data. He argues that most people assume the world is worse off today than it was in the past, and that this is patently false. Using decades, and sometimes centuries, of data, he systemically counters many common notions held today - that the world is more violent, that more people live in poverty, and that population growth is not truly exponential - to name a few.
