Quote of the day

“When you see where we are now, in the last couple hundred years versus the previous millennia, you have to think, ‘Well, I’m really lucky to be alive now.’ If we can just understand that basis for what we have, and build on that, there’s a huge source of optimism.”

—Alan M. Taylor, distinguished professor of economics and finance at the University of California, Davis, on what makes him optimistic in a recent episode of McKinsey Global Institute’s Forward Thinking podcast
