Na tien jaar als fractievoorzitter van D66 staat Alexander Pechtold in 2017 voor zijn grootste uitdaging: zorgen dat Nederland een open en vrije samenleving blijft. Een moeilijke opgave, want xenofobie en pessimisme hangen als een donkere wolk boven Nederland en de wereld. Met de verkiezing van Donald Trump als president van de Verenigde Staten is die dreiging toegenomen. In Optimist in de politiek schrijft Pechtold vurig en persoonlijk over zijn ideeën voor de toekomst van de Nederlandse samenleving. Waarom was juist hij degene die Geert Wilders vanaf het eerste uur bestreed, en waarom blijft hij dat zo volhardend doen? Wat drijft hem on zich nog steeds in te zetten voor zijn politieke boodschap? Hoe wil hij de brug slaan naar mensen die zich van de politiek afkeren? Pechtold vertelt openhartig over zijn achtergrond, zijn jeugd en zijn opvoeding. In Optimist in de politiek zien we een man vol idealen. Iemand met een rotsvast geloof in de Europese samenwerking. We ontdekken de drijfveren van een politicus die zich vol overtuiging inzet voor wat meer dan ooit op het spel staat: onze veelkleurige vrije samenleving met kansen voor iedereen.

In this serious attempt to forecast the changes ahead in the 20th century from the year 1906, the author deals with the accelerating rate of scientific progress, housing, travel, population, business, pleasure, newspapers, utilization of the sea, science, education, religion, economics, and law. He describes his intentions in the following manner in his Preface: "The following was at first intended to be no more than an attempt to foresee the probable trend of mechanical invention and scientific discovery during the present century. But as the work took shape it was seen to involve a certain amount of what may be called moral conjecture, since the material progress of the new age could not very well be imagined without taking into account its mental characteristics. In these expectations of an optimist, a great ethical improvement of the civilised human race has been anticipated, and a rate of progress foreseen which perhaps no previous writers have looked for. Both in regard to moral development and material progress, it has been the aim of the author to predict nothing that the tendencies of existing movement do not justify us in expecting. "An attempt of this kind is exposed to facile criticism. It will be easy for objectors to signalise this or that expected invention as beyond scientific possibility, that or the other moral reform as fit only for Utopia. But those who will consent to perpend the enormous and utterly unforeseen advance of the nineteenth century will recognise the danger of limiting their anticipations concerning the possibilities of the twenty-first. A fanciful description in (I think) Addison's Spectator of an invention by which the movements of an indicator on a lettered dial were imagined to be reproduced on a similar dial at a distance, and employed as a means of communication, must have seemed wholly chimerical to its readers; and even as recently as fifty years ago, anyone who predicted the telephone would have been laughed at. When the principle of the accumulator was already discovered a very competent practical electrician told the writer that he need not worry himself much about the idea : there was not the least likelihood that electricity could ever be "bottled up in cisterns"! On the whole there is more likelihood of error in timidity than in boldness when we attempt to foresee what will be attained after the increasingly rapid movement of scientific progress during this twentieth century shall have gathered full force.

"There's no shortage of gloom-and-doom viewpoints about humanity: our history of violence and war, environmental profligacy, economic and social injustice, etc. Frank S. Robinson has written this "optimist manifesto" as an antidote to such poisonous pessimism. Here you will find some radical and refreshing assertions: that most people are fundamentally good, that global society is getting better all the time, and that, in the big picture, humankind is not at the end of a brief, tragic existence but, rather, has just embarked on a long, bright future. What started as an extended letter to his daughter, one father's effort to leave an intellectual legacy, grew to comprehensively cover and tie together the big philosophical, political, social, and economic issues. Writing in a highly readable style, Robinson steadfastly emphasizes reason as our best tool for discovering truth and making objective decisions. It is through this consistently rational approach to life that he argues for a positive humanistic vision, based on people being left free to pursue their dreams. Celebrating our human character and achievement as well as American ideals of liberty and opportunity, this compelling work is packed with thought-provoking ideas that engage the mind. Good-humored and entertaining, yet intellectually rigorous, it has a positive, optimistic message: we can live good and happy lives; today's world is the best ever; and tomorrow's will be better still!"--Publisher's Website.

"For the rest, criticism of this sort is disarmed, because the reader has been in any case invited to enter a realm of more or less pure imagination. No one can exactly know with what births, monstrous or beautiful, the future may teem. Admitting a certain point of view - that of almost unrestrained optimism - the predictions here offered will, it is believed, be found to be along the line of existing progress." No details of the author's life have been found on the Internet, but he seems to have been British since his preface is signed with a city in England, he makes references to London as well as to US cities, and he uses British spellings. This book was published in 1906 in the United States, so it is in the public domain in the United States, and perhaps elsewhere.
