The Rational Optimist: How Prosperity Evolves by Matt Ridley

4.0

The densely packed facts are a double-edged sword in that they make the book quite dull to read at times while simultaneously making the argument exceptionally persuasive. I'm glad I persevered through the boring bits -- it feels dangerous and stupid in this day and age to have hope, but now, I feel validated.
