A Short History of Progress jellemzők
Many of the great ruins that grace the deserts and jungles of the earth are monuments to progress traps, the headstones of civilizations which fell victim to their own success. In the fates of such societies - once mighty, complex, and brilliant - lie the most instructive lessons for our own.
The twentieth century's runaway growth in human population, consumption and technology has placed a murderous burden on the planet. In A Short History of Progress, Ronald Wright argues that this modern predicament is, in fact, as old as civilization, a 10,000-year experiment we unleashed but have seldom controlled. Only by understanding the patterns of progress and disaster that humanity has repeated since the Stone Age can we recognize the experiment's inherent dangers, and, with luck and wisdom, shape its outcome.
