The world is extremely unequal: life expectancy is congo is 51 vs. france/japan is 84. Tremendous range: access to clean water in africa, very difficult. Champagne glass can help explain inequalities in wealth we see. It represents the distribution of wealth: top 1/5th have 82. 7% of the global income, poorest 1/5th have 1. 4% of global income, richest 85 people in world have more wealth than the poorest 3. 5 billion people in the world. Inequalities in individual countries as well, ex. very poor countries can have a few extremely rich people. Maternal mortality rate is a marker for healthcare systems: in na and europe 10-20 people per 100 000 die of childbirth, in sa 75/100 000, se asia, 170/100 000, central africa 700+/100 000.
