Fast-Changing World by Phillip Ruthven

Fast-Changing World by Phillip Ruthven

Analysis of things past tells us that the best is yet to come. Diet and health theories seem to change all the time, and can be confusing -- but so do our everchanging economy, politics and lifestyles. What can, or should, we believe? At a time when we need intelligent and effective leadership of the nation, we are not getting it. Not many other countries are either. We are not alone: Popularism, fake news, alternative facts, straight-out lies and gross exaggerations abound across the globe. Who bothers to get to the truth in the media when scuttlebutt, rumours and sensationalism are more interesting than the reality? Phil Ruthven undoes a range of falsities in his Fast-Changing World: Divorces have been going down, not up, for decades; Marriages are lasting a little longer, not shortening; We are creating far more jobs than we are losing every year; Robots wont lead to massive unemployment; Our standard of living isnt standing still: It has gone up nearly three times (300%) over the past half-century, and many more. In debunking these common myths, Phil demonstrates how life isnt as bad as it may seem.
