About the author
Hans Rosling was a Swedish physician, professor of international health, and co-founder of the Gapminder Foundation. He became widely known for using animated data and public talks to challenge intuitive but outdated pictures of global development.
Factfulness begins with a set of multiple-choice questions about poverty, health, education, population, and vaccination. Audiences across professions tend to answer worse than random chance, a result Hans Rosling uses to investigate how a distorted picture of the world becomes intuitive.
