Recommended: Hans Rosling presentations

Hans Rosling is a Swedish academic who is well known for presenting enlightening colorful demographics statistics in surprisingly meaningful ways. I recommend several of his recent presentations, which are available on YouTube:

US in a converging world, Hans Rosling on CNN (on Fareed Zakaria's GPS)

Hans Rosling and Ola Rosling: How not to be ignorant about the world (TED talk)

 

Hans Rosling Discusses Pre-Conceived Notions and a Fact-Based World View (CGI U 2015)

There are others available on YouTube as well.
