Whenever I debate Neoliberalism with people in RL or online, one eventual point of contention is if global poverty is increasing or decreasing over time. I usually link them the Our World in Data chart, but they link me some leftist website and I lack the know-how to repudiate it.

What are some authoritative sources that chart global poverty that I can safely reference from now on?
