You do realize that one with of the world regressing and less people living in poverty can both be true, right?
I'm quite familiar with the IMF report. That 1/5th was comprised mostly of former communist nations who's population was much worse off during the transition to market economies. That didn't always drop them into global poverty levels though.
There are plenty of bad things in the world, but the fact is that less people are starving to death now than 30 years ago and that is worth acknowledging.
