200 years ago, 90% of the world's population were subsistence farmers in what today the UN would define as the same sort of absolute poverty associated with the most impoverished third world nations. Today only 15% of the world''s population is in that state, and we can potentially eliminate that worst state of poverty in our lifetimes.
