I am reading this now, it's pretty good. I think some misunderstand this book, maybe because there is a tendency to interpret any talk about how the world is improving as blindness about world problems. Or that admitting there have been gains made is the same as saying it's time to take it easy, stop trying to improve. This is nonsense of course. The point of finding out what has improved is to find out what works, and do more of that. See if you can apply what works in one place to another place, another problem.
