The Rational Optimist: How Prosperity Evolves by Matt Ridley

4.0

Interesting book, He takes a look at the history of humanity and makes a compelling case that by and large, the conditions of life have been improving at an ever accelerating pace since the begnining. He makes the important point that our industrial systems (food, production...) are what make our lives posible. He argues that there are good reasons to be optimistic about the future
