Why Chemotherapy That Costs $70,000 in the U.S. Costs $2,500 in India — The Atlantic

You haven't proven anything. As I said earlier, my most important point was that your claim is bogus that the USA alone, not European or any other advanced countries, gets credit for all the economic gains throughout the world. All your links show is that slightly fewer people in the developing world are living in abject poverty. Cool story, bro. Your own articles also prove whatever point you're trying to make wrong:

"Of the roughly 1.3 billion people living on less than $1.25 a day in 2008, 1.1 billion of them were outside China. That number barely budged between 1981 and 2008, an outcome that Martin Ravallion, the director of the bank's Development Research Group, calls “sobering”."

My response has been on point this entire time. If the USA alone is supposed to get credit for any economic gains abroad, let's look and see what the USA alone has actively been doing abroad. Oh yeah, supported a bunch of Cold War related genocides, and helped install right-wing dictators thereafter. That has everything to do with the point of contention, that the USA only deserves accolades for it's role abroad. And to use the figure, # of people earning over $1.25 per day is pretty weak, and ignores that under the new international division of labor our economic system depends on millions in developing nations wasting their lives away for piss poor wages, even if it's a whopping $2 or $3 per day. It also ignores that this creates a tremendous race to the bottom throughout the entire globe, and all so a few executives in Fortune 500 countries can rake in fuckloads of money.
