I read this today and thought I'd share.

If you could shrink the world to 100 people-keeping the same ratios-there would be...

  • 51 women and 49 men
  • 58 Asians, 13Europeans, 15 from the Americas, and 14 Africans
  • 50% of the wealth in the hands of 6 people-all from the U.S.
  • 50 malnourished
  • 80 living in substandard housing
  • 70 illiterates
  • 1 with a college degree
  • Not one with a computer
