On the “what did we start getting right in the 1980′s for reducing global poverty” I think most of the answer was a change in direction of China. In the late 70′s they started reforming their economy (added more capitalism, less command economy): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_economic_reform.

Comparing this graph on wiki https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poverty_in_China#/media/File:Poverty_in_China.svg , to yours, it looks like China accounts for practically all of the drop in poverty since the 1980s.
Arguably this is a good example for your other points. More willing participation, less central command.
