Good news at last: why things are looking up for the world
Let's be honest: what do you think – do more people die in plane crashes than used to be the case or fewer? Are there more wars and war casualties than 30 years ago or fewer? Are more children the victims of child labour and violence today or fewer? And the crime rate – is it rising or falling?
Every day we are faced with bad news – and overlook the fact that a lot (and what's more, a lot of important things) have changed for the better. We now live in a world with less poverty, increasing affluence and a lower death rate, as is impressively demonstrated by Spiegel editor Guido Mingels. His texts and charts illustrate a surprising trend for the better. For even if the news frequently makes us think otherwise, much in this world is moving in the right direction.
“A useful antidote to rampant despondency and to the pessimism of apocalyptic prophets.”
