AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES AND WALL STREET JOURNAL
BESTSELLERLONGLISTED FOR THE FINANCIAL TIMES BUSINESS BOOK OF THE
YEARA FINANCIAL TIMES BEST ECONOMICS BOOK OF THE YEAR AND THE
ECONOMIST BOOK OF THE YEARFrom one of the world's leading
economists, a sweeping new history of the twentieth century - a
century that left us vastly richer, yet still profoundly
dissatisfied. Before 1870, most people lived in dire poverty, the
benefits of the slow crawl of invention continually offset by a
growing population. Then came a great shift: invention sprinted
forward, doubling our technological capabilities each generation,
and creatively destroying the economy again and again.Slouching
Towards Utopia tells the story of the major economic and
technological shifts of the 20th century in a bold and ambitious,
grand narrative. In vivid and compelling detail, DeLong charts the
unprecedented explosion of material wealth after 1870 which
transformed living standards around the world, freeing humanity
from centuries of poverty, but paradoxically has left us now with
unprecedented inequality, global warming, and widespread
dissatisfaction with the status quo. How did the long twentieth
century fail to deliver the utopia our ancestors believed would be
the inevitable result of such material wellbeing?How did humanity
end up less on a march to progress than a slouch in the right
direction?And what can we learn from the past in pursuit of a
better world?
