About the book
Johan Norberg offers an antidote to contemporary pessimism, documenting how human life has dramatically improved in recent decades through innovation, trade, and liberal institutions. With comprehensive data and an engaging narrative, he shows reductions in poverty, disease, and violence that the media tends to ignore.
Not a naive celebration of the status quo, but an argument about the historical forces that produced real humanitarian gains. An essential read for anyone seeking factual context about our time, offering grounded hope without denying persistent challenges.
