I don't see any evidence in the article, just links to some dubious papers, partially paid by the world bank.

It might be, that some money goes to third world countries (specially China and India) but I just doubt, that many people are really rising out of poverty. The "wandring labourers" of China are not. They work just to survive. Also those that are sewing our jeans in Malaysia and other countries ... at the verge of living wage. When the big corporations move along, to even cheaper countries, nothing is left to them.

I know by own experience, that with statistics, you can prove just anything, even lies.

I think, reading also the comments posted to the article is helpful. Some insights are also there.
