The Great Escape = a big increase in life expectancy inequality
13 May 2015 Leave a comment
In 1800 the global average life expectancy was 32.
Global health inequality was low – no country had over 40 years! http://t.co/BRpzvw9XJA—

@MaxCRoser Now over the last decades many caught up – and inequality is declining. While average is now much higher. http://t.co/NDmWzivrhs—
