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.

震荡平衡的人类历史，以为这两件事：首先不会太离谱，总会是沿着某一个均线震荡；其次，可以说每时每刻都是挺离谱的，因为不是太过这样了，就是太过那样了。这个时代的中国是怎么回事呢？是个言论和思想自由的初期，所以人们补偿性的大声说话，而说粗话和说批评的话，显然更...

I came across this book while watching Ridley's speech at The Long Now Foundation from youtube. It impressed me that Ridley incorporated axioms of economics theory of Adam Smith into the explanation of human history. In the last chapter, Ridely was able to ...

楼主是这本书的翻译。这本书交稿之后，前后两位审稿的编辑不约而同地对我说了类似的话： “看了你的译文感觉意思有点费解，查了原文之后才懂了。” 言外之意是，译文似乎并不算错，但还不如原文好理解。比如原文有一句话是这样： It is my contention that in looking i...
