Hans Rosling

In THIS TED Talk researcher Hans Rosling talks about how countries are pulling themselves out of poverty, comparing households of varying income levels worldwide. The data tools he uses are fantastic at conveying statistics and the way he can show how figures have changed through time is a really great visual device.
The website Gapminders shows how this software works allowing people to see the way countries change in way that challenge old myths.
