It maybe have done that in a few countries but in general the world, particularly the 3rd world is a lot "richer" than it was 30 or even 20 years ago.
Most people are still at the mercy of the zip code they live in. The "global" economy has pushed wages down and made cheap goods cheaper, but claiming that a bottom 10% American has a good life because they are still the top 10% globally is idiotic.
