Argentina was one of the richest countries in the world at the beginning of the 20th century—

(This Data Insight was written by @EOrtizOspina.)

When I first visited Buenos Aires some years ago, I was struck by how grand the city's historic architecture was.

This is something that strikes many tourists: parts of the city feel closer to Paris than you’d expect from a country whose income level today is more similar to my home country of Colombia than to France.

This chart helps put that observation in perspective. It shows the ten richest countries in the world in 1910, according to GDP per capita estimates from economic historians.

By this measure, Argentina was among the world’s richest countries in 1910, ahead of several Western European countries, including Germany and France. It also stood clearly ahead of its peers in Latin America at the time.

But over the course of the 20th century, Western European economies grew far faster, especially after the Second World War, and Argentina fell behind.

A long-run perspective like this shows how much of a difference economic growth can make within just a few generations.

Countries with the heaviest external debt are also where healthy diets are least affordable and vulnerability is highest.

✍️ New article: Why cheap waste management is key to stopping plastic pollution—

Of every 5 kilograms of plastic waste produced globally, 1 kilogram ends up polluting the environment.

This has serious consequences for people and other animals alike. It pollutes waterways, harms wildlife, and burning plastic generates toxic air that millions breathe.

But this terrible pollution is not inevitable.

In countries with good waste management systems, far less plastic pollutes the environment. Across high-income countries, plastic pollution per person is 100 times lower than in lower-income countries.

If every country managed its waste in this way, the world would cut plastic pollution by more than 98%.

Why is this gap so large?

In the chart here, you see two key metrics: how much plastic *waste* is generated and how much plastic *pollution* is produced, both per person. These estimates are taken from research by Joshua Cottom and colleagues.

Clearly, people in high-income countries don’t produce 100 times less pollution than those in lower-income countries because they use less plastic. Per person, they use much more.

The huge difference in pollution rates is a consequence of how waste is managed. In high-income countries, most waste is collected and sent to controlled landfills or to facilities that incinerate or recycle it.

In many low- and middle-income countries, people find themselves in a very different situation: less than half of solid household waste is collected. People often have little choice but to burn or dump it. But even the waste that is collected is often left in open dumps, where it’s at risk of leaking into the environment.

Most pollution, then, comes from uncollected waste and poorly managed disposal sites.
