The Rational Optimist: How Prosperity Evolves by Matt Ridley

5.0

Consuming a single product is akin to consuming the labour of at least a thousand others. What a single man produced earlier can be produced by individuals (read specialisation), thereby improving work hours. Collective labour means a cup of coffee is inclusive of the labour of people spread across each of the habitable continents. The ideas presented in this book are so endearing. 5*s all the way.
