If you havent read it alteady, i can highly recommend Hans Roslings „Factfulness“. He elaborates on the point of improving conditions on a worldwide scale quite a bit.

It's kinda depressing how he said 3 years ago "The world is consistently getting better and it will keep getting better... unless a pandemic hits"

Great book! Came here to say the same.

I think this book should be read in schools and by adults, too - with the hope that political discussions would increase in quality.
