Utterly untrue. Life is so much better today than it was 500 years
ago, for the majority of people and for the poorest of the poor.

 the 80% reduction in poverty between 1970 and 2006 has to be
 the greatest reduction in world poverty in such a short time
 span in the history of the world

I suspect what Clark is calculating is the ratio of wealth of rich to
poor (unequal distribution). Today there are large numbers of rock
star celebrities jet-setting around, consuming large amounts of
resources like only a small number of royalty used to. This is a
totally separate question from, how much nutrition and medicine and
shelter are the poorest of the poor getting (poverty).
