Ten Global Trends Every Smart Person Should Know by Ronald Bailey and Marian L. Tupy is a data-driven examination of long-term human progress, highlighting improvements in global health, wealth, environment, and safety. On The Rubin Report episode titled Correcting the Myths of Environmental Alarmism & Progress | Marian Tupy Interview, aired on November 1, 2020, host Dave Rubin welcomed Marian Tupy, the editor of HumanProgress.org and co-author of the book, as his guest. Rubin introduced Tupy to the audience and mentioned the publication alongside several other works by the author that viewers would find interesting.

The work compiles extensive statistical charts and analyses to demonstrate how living standards, technological capabilities, and resource abundance have generally trended positively on a global scale. Through this introduction, listeners were directed to examine the empirical metrics of human achievement and evaluate contemporary societal challenges through a lens of measured optimism and verifiable data.
