Generating the Wealth of Nations, I

I'm doing a MOOC called "Generating the Wealth of Nations," and I'm going to be posting some things here that I think are relevant for that course, mostly some charts of data, but also as I go along some analysis as well.

Here are a couple of charts.  The first one has data for over 100 countries on infant mortality and GDP per capita in about 2008; the second, life expectancy and GDP per capita in about 2008.  (Click either chart to expand it.)
