Credit Suisse surveyed people across the developing world to see how they spent their incomes, writes Derek Thompson. Highlights of the report include:

• Brazilians are the most optimistic. Only 7% saved anything, and over half didn’t save at all.
• China, on the other hand saves the most. 30% of income is saved.
• Due to India’s call centers many think that the country is a telecommunications marvel. Yet only 19% of those in the country have access to the internet.
