Humanityâs ascent is often measured by the speed of progress. But what if progress is actually spiraling us downwards, towards collapse? Ronald Wright, whose best-seller, âA Short History Of Progressâ inspired âSurviving Progressâ, shows how past civilizations were destroyed by âprogress trapsââalluring technologies and belief systems that serve immediate needs, but ransom the future. As pressure on the worldâs resources accelerates and financial elites bankrupt nations, can our globally-entwined civilization escape a final, catastrophic progress trap?
