Description of Fewer, Richer, Greener: Prospects for Humanity in an Age of Abundance

Review 'The many young people who seem to share [a] gloomy view of the future should read the new book by Laurence B. Siegel' ?The Wall Street Journal 'As the twenty-teens draw to a close, may I wish everybody a Happy New Decade, and recommend a book that convincingly argues in great detail that it will be one: 'Fewer, Richer, Greener'' ?Matt Ridley, author of The Rational Optimist '[Siegel] argues convincingly that humanity has spent two centuries rising from our natural state of abject poverty, and that most of the credit for that goes market institutions and democracy.' ?Reason Magazine 'Laurence B. Siegel ... on the nature and benefits of economic growth and progress.' ?Tyler Cowen, author of Big Business 'Here is a terrific read for the holiday season. Truly uplifting.' ?Sandip Bhagat, Yahoo Finance 'A wonderful antidote to apocalyptic predictions about humanity's future. It's easy to forget that, in the span of a single lifetime, the lives of billions have been improved and enriched by innovation and progress.' ?Professor William N. Goetzmann, Yale University, author of Money Changes Everything Read more From the Inside Flap The news is filled with doomsday stories claiming our world is experiencing stagnant economic growth, environmental deterioration, dwindling natural resources, and an unsustainable increase in world population. For years we've been told that the population explosion will lead to impoverishment and perhaps kill us all. Fewer, Richer, Greener: Prospects for Humanity in an Age of Abundance debunks these notions and explains that we will have fewer people than we were expecting, we will become richer, and, perhaps most surprisingly, that the planet will become greener. While there are always reasons for concern, Laurence Siegel explains that we have more reasons to be optimistic about the future than not. Life has improved greatly in the last 250 years; Fewer, Richer, Greener makes the argument that it will continue to improve in almost every aspect including health, wealth, longevity, nutrition, literacy, peace, and freedom. Without ignoring the many challenges on the path of progress, the book helps restore faith in the future and offers an understanding of why hope is justified. Fewer, Richer, Greener is written in a lucid and witty style, filled with art, architecture, poetry, and personal reflection as well as accurate data and research, and offers an in-depth look at the best books on the topic by leading thinkers. Designed to transform conventional thinking, the book makes a convincing case for having gratitude for today's world and optimism about the bountiful world of tomorrow. We can look forward to technology that makes life more pleasant and interesting and enables more people to have access to the rich cultural legacy of millennia of human accomplishment. Siegel reveals that we are at a turning point where the economic development of the past 200 years in the first world has begun to spread to the rest of the globe. This future will not be without problems, but we will have the knowledge and technology to solve problems in ways that would have been unimaginable only a few decades ago. Read more From the Back Cover How the world has improved and why optimism about the future is abundantly justified 'A Condorcet for today, Siegel argues persuasively and vividly that human ingenuity triumphs over limits to growth. A wonderful antidote to apocalyptic predictions about humanity's future. It's easy to forget that, in the span of a single lifetime, the lives of billions have been improved and enriched by innovation and progress.' ?Professor William N. Goetzmann, Yale University, author of Money Changes Everything: How Finance Made Civilization Possible

'Somewhere between Rev. Thomas Malthus and Voltaire's Dr. Pangloss lies Larry Siegel. Bringing the same sharp analysis, wit, and willingness to break with conventional wisdom that he's applied to investment analysis for many years, Larry is a welcome voice of measured optimism in a world chock full of doomsayers. He doesn't shy away from real problems?but he puts paid to the notion that things are getting worse and worse and that we're all doomed.'
?Cliff Asness, founder, AQR 'A refreshing look at the state of the world?food, health and longevity, energy, cities, education, freedom, poverty, robots, economic growth, the environment?through the eyes of one of today's most perceptive observers, Fewer, Richer, Greener will entertain, amuse, and enlighten in a way that few other books can. Read, enjoy, and learn?Siegel sees our uncertain future through a completely different set of lenses.' ?William J. Bernstein, bestselling author of A Splendid Exchange: How Trade Shaped the World and The Birth of Plenty: How the Prosperity of the Modern World Was Created

'That great explainer of everything to everybody.'
?Richard Flannery, CEO of The Investment Fund for Foundations 'The arc of history shows we're living longer, getting richer, warring less, and enjoying more freedom. And it's going to continue, naysayers and pessimists be damned. That's the message in Larry Siegel's new book, Fewer, Richer, Greener. Siegel is a polymath with a wonderful ability to explain and support his views without being pompous or preachy. Exploring the nexus of demography, economics, science, and history, Larry provides an honest, clear-eyed view of the present and a realistic, refreshingly optimistic view of the future.' ?Lee A. Kaplan, M.D., former Director of Clinical Dermatology, University of California San Diego Read more About the Author LAURENCE B. SIEGEL is the Gary P. Brinson Director of Research at the CFA Institute Research Foundation and a writer, speaker, and consultant specializing in economics and investment management. Siegel is the author of more than 200 articles on investing and related topics. He has won many writing awards including the Graham and Dodd Award, Bernstein Fabozzi/Jacobs Levy Award, and the EDHEC/Robeco Award. Read more
