Questions on Hans Rosling's Work

A Conversation with Bill Gates: Hans Rosling's Work

By Bill Gates 
| February 18, 2012

Question excerpt from Transcript of Q & A Session with Larry Cohen

LARRY COHEN:
In your letters, you’ve written about Hans Rosling as someone that you’ve learned a lot about this dynamic from. Is that something you’d point other people to if they wanted to understand this a little more?

BILL GATES:
Hans is the most articulate on how development has been a big success, what the trends are, comparing different countries. He’s at www.GapMinder.org, with lots of great stuff. And, it’s really inspiring.  And the more people who see it the better.
