Economic History Editorial Review
The "Rational Optimist: How Prosperity Evolves" by Matt Ridley is a highly informative and interesting book that presents facts, history and data regarding human nature and the world. The author encourages readers to have a positive outlook on life while understanding that things are getting better, not worse. The first half of the book is enjoyable, although repetitive, while the second half glorifies the use of fossil fuels and derides future potential of alternatives. Despite this, the book is a great read and a must for anyone interested in learning more about how the world really works. It offers insights and ideas that may change one's worldview and encourages readers to become more rational optimists.
