Marginal Revolution: The Great Stagnation in medicine

Here is one bit from a very good Robert Gordon essay (which I will cover again in a while):

...if one starts down the road of comparing changes in life expectancy, the yearly rate of increase in life expectancy at birth during 1900–50, resulting in substantial part from the inventions of the Second Industrial Revolution, was 0.72 percent per year, the 0.24 percent annual rate during 1950–95.
