Despite the sometimes justified attacks on the "global elite", some perspective might be needed. 
Here are a few facts. 
Despite a 59% increase in the developing world population, the share living with less than $1.25 per day fell from about half in 1981 to 21% in 2010, according to the World Bank. 
 At the beginning of the 20th century just over 10% of the world population lived in democratic countries – now it is more than 50%.
Poverty is declining at the fastest rate in human history. 
Global hunger has fallen by 39% since 2000. 
Life expectancy has increased dramatically in the past few decades. 
Infant mortality rates have decreased dramatically. 
Diseases such as smallpox and polio have been eradicated. 

There are many more examples of how the world is a better place than at any time in history. 
No, it's not perfect. 
But it's better. Google is your friend.
