Yet another great resource for analysing global inequality….with snowballs

The World Economic Forum at Davos tends to stimulate and showcase lots of fascinating material, and has a focus on global issues which is of particular interest for teaching about developing economies - all very useful for Edexcel Unit 4. I strongly recommend having a look at a new BBC collection called A Richer World which is a rich source of data and strong material for application of the theory we are teaching in the Growth and Development section of the syllabus.If you don't get around to using anything else from there, I strongly recommend a great 3.45 minute video of Hans Rosling and Evan Davis analysing changing global inequality with the aid of seven snowballs.
