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.
作者提出的许多观点几乎完全没有得到有力的论证。。。 1.物物交换绝对不是智人的专利,很多动物都有互惠和交换的行为,比如吸血蝙蝠会在自己吃饱的时候把血吐给饿的蝙蝠,换来自己饿的时候的帮助。甚至耶鲁大学的经济学教授keith chen 已经在实验中证明,卷尾猴完全可以学会使...
評分 評分 評分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...
評分(让本文影响你对此书的评价之前,请注意两个前提:我给此书的评价是四星,里德利是我每本必读的作家;赞美之辞我在豆瓣和微博上都已说过了,这里都是批评。) 在第二、三两章中,里德利提出了一个观点:(我的总结)导致现代智人经历一系列戏剧性的快速进化,特别是语言和语...
