Emotional Statistics
The power of numbers
This animation was created for
my TED-X presentation in 2000 (see Multi-axiality). In reviewing the data on the subject, I was appalled at the disparity in
poverty between the wealthiest and the poorest demographics
by race, age, marital status,
and family size: the numbers alone were, for me, emotionally powerful and compelling. The presentation was cited later in
the conference by Sinbad and
by Uwe Reinhardt, professor of political economy at Princeton.
