The
state
of
humanity
has
always
been
in
flux,
but
to
be
able
to
quantify
any
of
these
changes
is
a
much
more
recent
development.
With
today’s
data,
there
are
a
multitude
of
ways
we
could
examine
the
nearly
eight
billion
people
on
the
planet.
However,
the
clearest
signals
about
society
stem
from
data
that
is
robust
and
far-reaching:
Where
do
people
live
globally,
and
how
is
this
changing?
Where
will
tomorrow’s
consumers
come
from?
Is
wealth
growing
or
shrinking,
and
is
this
happening
equally?
How
does
a
rapidly
aging
population
factor
into
all
of
this?
In
this
chapter,
we
take
a
10,000-foot
view
of
society
to
help
set
the
context
for
the
rest
of
this
book.
The
macro
forces
you
are
about
to
see
are
perpetually
at
work
in
the
background,
affecting
almost
every
other
signal
and
outcome
you
can
imagine.
