First World problem

And hopefully the average person in the developed world today is a little more enlightened about the challenges of poverty than an 18th century aristocrat would have been, but the jury is still out on that one.

I mean, that's why First World Problems is a meme, right? But how we behave toward the developing world in the next 100 years will determine much of how we are viewed not only by them, but by the thousands of future generations that come after us and read of our deeds in history.

Is human history a story of progress, where life has become better for most people over the course of 250,000 years? And will life continue to get better for most people during the Anthropocene?

Since 1970, manufacturing jobs have lifted approximately 600 million people out of poverty.
