Are We Helping the World at a Tiny Bit of Extra Cost?

Bjorn Lomburg: The world is generally an improving place, and there's a simple reason for it. As we get richer, we actually want to stop stupid stuff and bad stuff from happening. John Cochran: I'll join the HR Quasius Optimist Club. But you only stay optimistic if you're always afraid of disaster and doing something to keep it from coming. Neil Ferguson: Fear not, we'll be back later this month with the new guests on Good Fellows.
