    this is a response to your essay on The Industrial Revolution: I think the data that you’re pulling from the World Bank might not be as reliable as you think it is: https://www.jasonhickel.org/blog/2019/2/3/pinker-and-global-poverty
    it seems as though if you shift perspectives from gdp and the 1.90$ per day figure, capitalism starts to not look so hot. i’d love to hear your thoughts on the matter.

      At a glance, it doesn’t look like Hickel cites any better estimates. On the reliability of the estimates Pinker and I use, see this blog post at Our World in Data. My poverty estimates before 1820 are pure extrapolation and acknowledged as such; hence my language about “speculation” and such.
