It's Getting Better All the Time: 101 Greatest Trends of the Last 100 Years by Stephen Moore, Julian L. Simon

2.0

This is interesting read some thirteen years after it was published. It covers a range of subjects, from racism to gender rights to global warming and terrorism and education, and other things that the authors deemed were getting 'better'. Now, I agree that issues like racism, women's rights and equal rights are definitely better than they were some hundred, hundred and fifty years ago. People still discriminate, sure, but it's certainly frowned upon. But I can't help but feel that in terms of wars and global warming, we're still fighting an uphill battle.

I also kept singing The Beatles' 'It's Getting Better All The Time', and I can't hate too much because of that: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gP4apO4dbhw
