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
评分一百页之内就应该写完的话题
评分至今为止看的唯一一本连岳推荐过的书,看完末日情结的焦虑症的确缓解了一些。善哉

评分只读了摘要~~~稍微悲观可以靠近事实真相,稍微乐观可以过得快乐幸福。只是,你爱不爱那粉饰太平。

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.
给 “怀旧的环保主义”看看病 作者:邝海炎 近段时间,“你幸福吗?”的提问很流行。在时下中国,也许你孩子会吃到毒奶粉,也许你爱人出门会遇到70码,也许你还会“被精神病”……但尽管这样,从历时态的人类状况看,我们每个人获得幸福的物质基础还是在增加...
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 评分记得几年前,有一段时间东北老家突然开始流行吃所谓的野菜,有大饭店专门供作各种野菜和生蔬,饭店门前停满了各路豪车,然而各路食客来吃的却是蔬菜,很多菜连一丝肉丁都没有,这群从饥饿记忆中走出不到30年的人群真是让人啧啧称奇。不过时至今日,其实也算见怪不怪了,好像更...
评分这个世界似乎永远充满着悲观的论断,大部分看起来都事实确凿、逻辑严明,他们从当前现实生活中的种种细节,推断出未来世界将不可避免地走向衰落。从温室效应、经济崩溃、千年虫甚至末日审判,悲观的推断不仅曾经出现,并且还将继续推陈出新。在革新和转折的时代,这样的论断与...
