As the 20th century actually draws to a close, it's time for a dose of good news. Cato Institute scholar Steve Moore, building on the lifelong work of his late Cato colleague Julian Simon, shows in It's Getting Better All the Time that more human progress has occurred in the last 100 years than in all previous centuries combined. No matter what the variable--life expectancy, wealth, leisure time, education, safety, gender and racial equality, freedom--the world is a vastly better place today than it was a century ago. Moore will present the major findings of the book, with commentary by Julian's wife, Rita J. Simon and critic Jared Bernstein.
