In order to make the correct decision about the development in the world we need a fact-based view and we need good data. Much of the information needed exists in databases, reports and web pages all over the world, still very few uses it and the knowledge is not widely spread.
As long as statistics is hidden, boring, hard to get and expensive, people wont use it. And as long as statistics are expensive and hard to find they will remain boring to most people.
Gapminder tries to show complicated international relations with several dimensions at the same time in a way that gives an immediate understanding. The first thing that struck us when putting world data into the software was how many fantastic improvements that has happened the last 30 years which no one realizes.
