The UK may be stagnating and with a grimmer future ahead of it than previous times but huge advances have been made in South & East Asia where nearly a couple billion people were previously enduring some of the most intense poverty in the world. Progress is not uniform, some places are backsliding including very prominent countries, but many people globally are also seeing improvements in their lives too.
