What example does Rosling use to show that the blame instinct is wrong? (p. 205-6)
Big pharmaceutical companies like Novartis do most research on rich people’s illnesses, not on illnesses that affect the poorest. However, who’s to blame? (CEO, board of directors, shareholders, pension funds?)

Our immigration policies are responsible for the drownings of refugees
