The dominant view on the left--reinforced by the election of Donald Trump--is as follows: (1) progress in today's world has largely stopped and in many ways reversed; (2) the left is weak and at the mercy of a rapacious capitalism and a marauding right; and (3) the outlook for the future is bleak, with ordinary citizens suffering even more deprivation and the planet itself sliding inexorably toward catastrophe. But all these propositions are wrong. It is not the case that progress has stopped. Today,... The words -optimism- and -the left- do not seem to go together very well these days.
