Using data, history, and sharp reasoning, he shows how human progress has accelerated through trade, specialization, and innovation. Rather than focusing on doom and decline, Ridley explains why cooperation and exchange have consistently raised living standards across centuries. This is a hopeful, evidence-based book that challenges modern pessimism and reshapes how you see the world.
