This is of course a very complex question, covering centuries of economic development, and the answer will differ for different kinds of industry, times, and places. It is undeniable that industrial workplaces have been deadly for workers as well as for neighbors affected by industrial pollution. Overall, however, industrialization has greatly benefited human health, as evidenced by vast multi-decade increases in life-expectancy and quality of life. The most important reason is that industrial production (and the scientific and technical progress that accompanies it) is tremendously more efficient and materially effective than pre-industrial production: even those of us considered “poor” in today’s developed economies are materially and educationally much better off than the average worker in pre-industrial society. And economic well-being—access to sufficient food, clothing, housing, leisure, education, safety, and freedom—is by far the most important determinant of human health. (Gains in mean income due to industrialization have overwhelmed the health-harming effects of increases in income inequality due to industrialization.) A second major reason is the huge increase in the quality of medical treatments that industrial production makes possible, particularly vaccines, antibiotics, other inexpensive essential medicines, and broad public health campaigns.
