This primarily reflects the improved social and physical conditions of living, along with the strengthening of civil institutions; circumstances which, in particular, have greatly diminished childhood deaths from infection and malnutrition. We have thus partially reined in two of the four biblical Horsemen of the Apocalypse: Famine and Pestilence on their black and pale horses, respectively.1 Meanwhile, the other two Horsemen, War and Conquest, still roam menacingly on their red and white steeds. Warfare continues. The recent conflicts in Kosovo, Chechnya and Sierra Leone testify to the destructiveness of modern firepower and the attendant toll in civilian casualties. Conquest persists, albeit mostly in modern commercial guise, reflecting aspects of economic globalisation and deregulated trade.
