Matt Ridley, acclaimed author of the classics Genome and Nature via Nurture, turns from investigating human nature to investigating human progress. In The Rational Optimist Ridley offers a counterblast to the prevailing pessimism of our age, and proves, however much we like to think to the contrary, that things are getting better. Over 10,000 years ago there were fewer than 10 million people on the planet. Today there are more than 6 billion, 99 per cent of whom are better fed, better sheltered, better entertained and better protected against disease than their Stone Age ancestors. The availability of almost everything a person could want or need has been going erratically upwards for 10,000 years and has rapidly accelerated over the last 200 years: calories; vitamins; clean water; machines; privacy; the means to travel faster than we can run, and the ability to communicate over longer distances than we can shout. Yet, bizarrely, however much things improve from the way they were before, people still cling to the belief that the future will be nothing but disastrous. In this original, optimistic book, Matt Ridley puts forward his surprisingly simple answer to how humans progress, arguing that we progress when we trade and we only really trade productively when we trust each other. The Rational Optimist will do for economics what Genome did for genomics and will show that the answer to our problems, imagined or real, is to keep on doing what we've been doing for 10,000 years -- to keep on changing.

评分为什么聪明人总是对未来感到悲观——以及为什么他们是错的 Lasciate ogni speranza, voi ch’entrate. ——Dante,Inferno 入此门者，弃绝希冀。 ——但丁，《地狱篇》 我用这句话来形容“反对虚假希望”者的心态，他们说，不仅改良是虚假希望，革命也是虚假希望。 当然这样...
评分相信未来《理性乐观派》 对于人类的未来，我们听得最多的就是各种悲观的预言，相比之下乐观派好像被挤得没有一席之地。所以看看乐观派的观点有时候也很有好处。在关于全球变暖的争论中，就有人持乐观的态度，列举历史上的温度变化，来证明现在上升的这一点点温度，不应该...
评分悲欢的流言比乐观的期望更能够吸引大家的眼球，人们总感觉到它无处不在，特别是近一个世纪以来，广岛核弹事件、切尔诺贝利核电站发生严重的事故后，更加延长了流言的生命期，一系列与物种消亡、癌症、犯罪、艾滋病、气候变暖等相关的问题出现在世界经济论坛上，可实际上，我们...
