Economic growth has lifted a large fraction of Bangladesh out of poverty. Slowly, things are getting better.

Alas, this progress cannot continue for very long, because of an overriding factor that the article fails to mention: global heating. Sea-level rise will inundate substantial parts of Bangladesh, and millions will be forced off their land. Indeed, the cloth from which to make the clothing pushes against resource limits.

Most articles about development of poor countries, indeed most articles about possible future economic growth, disregard the limits to growth. These limits used to be projections into the distant future, but we are starting to run into them, and they will press humanity tightly in the next few decades.
