Shortlisted for the Financial Times and Schroders Business Book of
the Year AwardHow 1,000 years of global history show why
technological and economic progress is often followed by stagnation
and even collapseIn How Progress Ends, Carl Benedikt Frey
challenges the conventional belief that economic and technological
progress is inevitable. For most of human history, stagnation was
the norm, and even today progress and prosperity in the world’s
largest, most advanced economies—the United States and China—have
fallen short of expectations. To appreciate why we cannot depend on
any AI-fueled great leap forward, Frey offers a remarkable and
fascinating journey across the globe, spanning the past 1,000
years, to explain why some societies flourish and others fail in
the wake of rapid technological change.By examining key historical
moments—from the rise of the steam engine to the dawn of AI—Frey
shows why technological shifts have shaped, and sometimes
destabilized, entire civilizations. He explores why some leading
technological powers of the past—such as Song China, the Dutch
Republic, and Victorian Britain—ultimately lost their innovative
edge, why some modern nations such as Japan had periods of rapid
growth followed by stagnation, and why planned economies like the
Soviet Union collapsed after brief surges of progress. Frey
uncovers a recurring tension in history: while decentralization
fosters the exploration of new technologies, bureaucracy is crucial
for scaling them.When institutions fail to adapt to technological
change, stagnation inevitably follows. Only by carefully balancing
decentralization and bureaucracy can nations innovate and grow over
the long term—findings that have worrying implications for the
United States, Europe, China, and other economies today. Through a
rich narrative that weaves together history, economics, and
technology, How Progress Ends reveals that managing the future
requires us to draw the right lessons from the past.
