John Tierney writes in today’s New York Times: Doomsayers beware, a bright future beckons
John Tierney reviews The Rational Optimist in
today’s New York Times:
Every now and then, someone comes along
to note that society has failed to collapse and might go on
prospering, but the notion is promptly dismissed in academia as
happy talk from a simpleton. Predicting that the world will not end
is also pretty good insurance against a prolonged stay on the
best-seller list.
Hope he’s wrong about that, at least!
