Our World in Data: Global living conditions

https://ourworldindata.org/a-history-of-global-living-conditions-in-5-charts

I often refer back to this data set when looking for statistics on the history of global living conditions. In times like these we sometimes need something positive to look at, and how far we have come. But as we have learned, history does not always predict the future. It will be interesting to see what impact COVID-19 has on the future of global health as we know it.

One of the more interesting stats from the data:

In 1997, the child mortality rate (< 5) was 8.37%, in 2017, it was 3.91%.

I was recently looking for a summarized version of a Random Walk Down Wall Street from Burton Malkiel when I came across this website. These are some really nice “Booklets” which are condensed versions of books, concepts or ideas. These are perfect to get a summary of something you have have already read, or something that interests you and can use to start digging deeper.
