"In Western Europe, in the preindustrial Middle Ages, man’s life expectancy was 30 years. In the nineteenth century, Europe’s population grew by 300 percent—which is the best proof of the fact that for the first time in human history, industry gave the great masses of people a chance to survive.

If it were true that a heavy concentration of industry is destructive to human life, one would find life expectancy declining in the more advanced countries. But it has been rising steadily.

Here are the figures on life expectancy in the United States (from the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company):

1900 - 47.3 years

1920 - 53 years

1940 - 60 years

1968 - 70.2 years

(the latest figures compiled)Anyone over 30 years of age today, give a silent “Thank you” to the nearest, grimiest, sootiest smokestacks you can find."
