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.

Ridley认为，人类的发展“其实蕴涵着一股必然的潮流”，是涨潮而不是退潮。他的乐观就来自这里；他认为人类历史的发展，是一种进步，还是必然的进步；不仅会越来越好，还没有尽头。他认为我们的未来必然会解决气候问题、人口问题、艾滋病、恐怖主义等种种问题，这是因为，“人...

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...
