How to Make the World a Better Place

This is from a Michael Shermer review of Matt Ridley's new book The Evolution of Everything:

...He convincingly shows that generally the best thing we can do to make the world a better place is...absolutely nothing.  In most cases the best outcome will happen if government gets out of the way and lets people pursue their own needs, interests and pleasures.  That's because most change in most areas of human endeavor comes from people just doing their thing, not by design.
