What is the value of education? How much does a nation’s health and wealth depend on it? If you watch this TED Talk from Hans Rosling, you will begin to draw your own picture. Rosling is a Professor of International Health at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden and is the Director of the Gapminder Foundation, which developed the Trendalyzer software system. He has been called a “data rock star” given this standing-ovation performance at TEDIndia, the first such conference held in Asia. It took place in Mysore, India, in early November.
