'A great and timely contribution to our better understanding of the spectacular transition toward long and healthy lives and of its implications for productivity and well-being.' Marc Fleurbaey, Robert E. Kuenne Professor, Princeton University, USA 'This book is a must read for any scholar or policy maker interested in growth and development.' Philippe Aghion, Harvard University, USA 'Building on a wealth of new data and evidences, the book demonstrates, against the skeptics, that progress in health has played a critical causal role on economic development at large.' Daniel Cohen, Professor of Economics, Ecole normale superieure and Paris School of Economics, France 'Murtin's book offers a clear, concise, and yet rather exhaustive view of the relationship between health and development, its major contribution probably being the evidence it provides on the key role of education in that relationship.' Francois Bourguignon, former World Bank Chief Economist
