This book, in a sentence, claims that an ahistorical and ill informed doom and gloom atmosphere in Western public debate threatens to turn into a selffulfilling prophecy, that a new 'Global Optimism Literature' represented by e. g. Hans Rosling and Steven Pinker, based on vast historical sources and social scientific data fortunately intends to correct this misperception, that the also newly emerged sub-discipline of Global History in spite of severe birth diseases could contribute substantially to this mission, and when it all comes down to it: do we have a choice anyway?
