This episode is a review
of a fascinating book, The Better Angels Of Our Nature, by
Steven Pinker. The following quote summarises the book's main
argument:
"Believe it or not—and I know that most people do not—violence has
declined over long stretches of time, and today we may be living in
the most peaceable era in our species’ existence. The decline, to
be sure, has not been smooth; it has not brought violence down to
zero; and it is not guaranteed to continue. But it is an
unmistakable development, visible on scales from millennia to
years, from the waging of wars to the spanking of children."
