The Overwhelming Majority of People on The Planet Do Not Have Access To WMT

Nor do I doubt that many of the things we have come to take for granted may not be available.

If I get a chance I'll try to determine what world per capita income is and what it is for the US. I would imagine it is at least 50 to 100 times higher in the US.

Most of the Per Capita Data I Found Is By Country

So you would have to add population data. The world bank site provides that information and also indicates that over half of the worlds population live on not much more than $1 day.

"Of the world’s 6 billion people, more than 1.2 billion live on less than $1 a day. Two billion more people are only marginally better off."

A complete breakdown of Per Capita Income by country is available at:
