'Johan Norberg chronicles the still largely unknown fact that humanity is now healthier, happier, cleaner, cleverer, freer and more peaceful than ever before. He also explains why in this superb book.', 'At a time of profound pessimism, Johan Norberg is refreshingly, but not glibly, optimistic. His excellent book documents the dramatic improvements in people's lives and reminds us of the huge potential for further progress - provided we are open to it.', 'Excellent...Norberg's book comprehensively documents the myriad ways the state of humanity has vastly improved over the past couple of centuries.', Named one of the best books of the year by The Economist "Persuasive." -- The Wall Street Journal "In this brightly written, upbeat book, Johan Norberg blends facts, anecdotes, and official statistics to describe 'humanity's triumph' in achieving the present unparalleled level of global living standards. By virtually every measure--food, sanitation, life expectancy, poverty, violence, the environment, literacy, freedom, equality, the conditions of childhood--life has improved for most people, writes the author. .... While acknowledging the mayhem, hunger, and poverty still facing much of the world, Norberg remains optimistic that human ingenuity will prevail in shaping the future. A refreshingly rosy assessment of how far many of us have come from the days when life was uniformly nasty, brutish, and short. " Kirkus Reviews "His unfailing optimism and well-argued points generate powerful good-news vibes." -- Esquire (UK) "Norberg has a strong case and he makes it with energy and charm.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
