图书描述

Life is getting better—and at an accelerating rate. Food availability, income, and life span are up; disease, child mortality, and violence are down — all across the globe. Though the world is far from perfect, necessities and luxuries alike are getting cheaper; population growth is slowing; Africa is following Asia out of poverty; the Internet, the mobile phone, and container shipping are enriching people’s lives as never before. The pessimists who dominate public discourse insist that we will soon reach a turning point and things will start to get worse. But they have been saying this for two hundred years. Yet Matt Ridley does more than describe how things are getting better. He explains why. Prosperity comes from everybody working for everybody else. The habit of exchange and specialization—which started more than 100,000 years ago—has created a collective brain that sets human living standards on a rising trend. The mutual dependence, trust, and sharing that result are causes for hope, not despair. This bold book covers the entire sweep of human history, from the Stone Age to the Internet, from the stagnation of the Ming empire to the invention of the steam engine, from the population explosion to the likely consequences of climate change. It ends with a confident assertion that thanks to the ceaseless capacity of the human race for innovative change, and despite inevitable disasters along the way, the twenty-first century will see both human prosperity and natural biodiversity enhanced. Acute, refreshing, and revelatory, The Rational Optimist will change your way of thinking about the world for the better.

印象比较深的：1. 现代西方社会（包括日本）生育率下降到低于人口增长率，即老年化。原因也许不是因为人民悲观，而是安于现状（视个人享受为先）。其结果是否世界人口最终被穆斯林取代？或是穆斯林人口在达到某一峰值后，也会逐步降低？2. 关于全球暖化，戈尔引用的2000名科学家的论述，如果细看，他们说的是大概率的情况是温度微升，只有小概率会大升。而现在采取的很多措施/政策，比如生物燃油，对预防小概率的发生用处甚微。更像是向某些利益团体的利益倾斜。 3. 现代社会中小政府比大政府的危害更少（面对2020的疫情，这个推论是否还有效？）

Not worth reading for me, feel like that it’s easily dwarfed by those books like Jared Diamond’s “Guns, Germs, and Steel”.

弃读因为挺无聊，并没有什么不是我们已经知道的内容。

Be critical towards the world if you want to make it a better place but quit being all whiny and depressing because the world we are living in is absolutely wonderful and amazing.

逻辑不清晰严密，跳跃太多，观点重复太多 http://www.nytimes.com/2010/06/13/books/review/Easterly-t.html?smid=fb-share
