We are living in the very best of times if wealth and long life are critical considerations.

Going back to the time of Christ, we have a chart that quantifies history in two categories: one is life expectancy and the other is the amount of product sold or bartered. A couple of interesting points: one, the 20th century (the 1900's) saw more economic activity than all the previous centuries combined. The 21st century -- what happened?? Well, it is not half over. Take a pill.

Point of post? Not much. Just a curiosity.
