Progress against higher poverty lines has been large, too. The share living on less than $5 a day has declined from 57% to 25%, and the share living on less than $10 a day has declined from 74% to 53%.

No sources, no data, nothing to back up your claim except a guy claiming it himself. Basically just lies.

And economists wonder why their profession will never be a science. "Look I made up some shit, it's real!"

Edit: so far no academic or trustworthy sources, but a whole lotta shit slinging.

The source is literally written in plain text below the graph, inside the picture itself.

The website you linked to had no sources. The picture can say whatever it wants, but if the article itself doesn't cite it, how can I take it seriously?

Also, you're the one presenting the claim, why didn't you post a direct link to the source? Do it now.
