I don't think we have seen anything like this in history before, and it will be interesting, to say the least, at how all the millions of people elevated from destitution will contribute to the world and change it.

Don't get too excited. The chart only shows that fewer people fall below the $2/day line. They could all be living on $2.01/day now and it would still be valid.
