Passage to a Human World, by Max Singer (Hudson Institute, 390 pp„ $21.95)

Max Singer is leery of the word “optimist,” so it might be safer to call him a man who tries to appreciate conditions others overlook. Passage to a Human World: The Dynamics of Creating Global Wealth sums up the stunning economic progress mankind has made over the last two centuries, explains in carefully chosen terms how it happened, and argues that it’s likely to keep happening for the foreseeable future.
