Only problem is, equality for the world involves holding back people in rich countries like the US.

Neoliberalism or technology?

Also, the chart is plotting by individual, not dividing by country.  I would fully expect mother countries during the era of Colonial Imperialism to be much richer than their colonies, but the above chart can't show that.  Any conclusion to be drawn is spread out among a wide variety of political systems and technological development.  As a Whiggish person favoring deliberate New Deal style programs, it seems easy enough to wave one's hands and distribute credit or blame otherwise.  There just aren't enough data points to tell.  I'd kind of like to see a lot more charts and separate sets of charts for different political and economic systems.  The above feels like cherry pick.
