It was described as an excellent, beautiful, and interesting book that presents a positive narrative about the world, emphasizing that reality is much better than people understand. It focuses on facts from credible sources to highlight positive long-term global trends, rather than theoretical arguments.
It's a beautiful book and so that's an accomplishment in and of itself. It's also an extremely interesting book, wide-ranging and necessary in my estimation partly because most of what we consume in relationship to global occurrences, economic and otherwise, is negative.
Well, fundamentally the reality of the world, the reality of human existence is much better than people understand, let alone appreciate. Most people assume that the world is in a much worse shape than it really is.
And so if you think the reality of human existence is different from what really is, then your improvement can actually detract from human flourishing rather than contribute to it.
The book is largely free of theory. It is only facts that we have gotten from third parties with one exception, of a trend on natural resources that we will discuss.
So in addition to all the architecture books and books about dogs and cooking that people put on their dining room tables or living room tables, we are hoping that they will include this book.
