En 'El optimista racional', Matt Ridley explora el progreso de la humanidad a lo largo de la historia, argumentando que, en general, el mundo está mejorando. Ridley examina cómo el acceso a alimentos, ingresos y esperanza de vida ha aumentado, mientras que las enfermedades, la mortalidad infantil y la violencia han disminuido. El autor atribuye este progreso a la capacidad humana de innovación y especialización, y ofrece una perspectiva optimista sobre el futuro, sugiriendo que el siglo XXI traerá consigo avances materiales y en biodiversidad. Este libro es una respuesta a las voces pesimistas que predicen un declive inminente, ofreciendo una visión fundamentada y esperanzadora del potencial humano.

Matthew White Ridley, 5th Viscount Ridley, commonly known as Matt Ridley, is a British science writer, journalist and businessman. He writes on science, the environment and economics, and has been a regular contributor to The Times newspaper. Ridley was chairman of the UK bank Northern Rock from 2004 to 2007, during which period it experienced the first run on a British bank in 130 years. He resigned, and the bank was bailed out by the UK government; this led to its nationalisation.
