Imagine the world as a street ordered by income. Everyone lives somewhere on the street. The poorest lives to the left and the richest to the right. Everybody else live somewhere in between. Anna Rosling Rönnlund, Gapminder co-founder, created a web application where you can view this street.
What does it look like when someone in Sweden brushes their teeth or when someone in Rwanda makes their bed? With Dollar Street, you can find out. Photographers went to 264 homes in 50 countries to document the stoves, bed, toilets, toys, and more in households from every income bracket around the world.
