Are things really that bad? What are your thoughts on this (this is adjusted for inflation and PPP, before you ask.) 

1) Higher res, no?

2) Methodology? In other words, does the change represent actual change of the poor or relative value of $?

3) Here's better pciture to see the dynamics, since a joule hundreed years ago is the same joule today, adjust if for Gini. Of course, you don't eat them but convert them into food, heat etc.

 

1.) 

2. Yes, it explicitly says it is adjusted for inflation and PPP.
