Krátky popis
For readers of Thomas Piketty, David Graeber, and Jared Diamond: A
bold, provocative, wide-ranging argument about the human idea of
progress that offers a new vision of our futureProgress is power.
Narratives of progress, the stories we tell about whether a society
is moving in the right or the wrong direction, are immensely
potent. Progress has built cities, flattened mountains, charted the
globe, delved the oceans and space, created wealth, opportunity,
and remarkable innovation, and ushered in a new epoch unique in our
planet's 4.5-billion-year history.But the modern story of progress
is also a very dangerous fiction.It shapes our sense of what
progress means, and justifies what we will do to achieve it-no
matter the cost. We continue to subscribe to a set of myths, about
dominion, growth, extraction, and expansion, that have fueled our
success, but now threaten our-and all species'-- existence on a
planet in crisis.In Progress, geographer Samuel Miller McDonald
offers a radical new perspective on the myths upon which the modern
world is built, illuminating its destructive lineage and suggesting
an urgent alternative. Drawing on interdisciplinary research across
anthropology, history, philosophy and geography, McDonald argues
that if humanity is to thrive, then we must dismantle, reimagine,
and create anew what progress means.
