Discover a provocative new history of humanity’s relentless pursuit of ‘progress’ in Samuel Miller McDonald’s compelling book, ‘Progress: A History of Humanity’s Worst Idea’. This eye-opening read from The Bookish Owl challenges the very foundation of our modern world, revealing how the drive for growth and expansion has led to both incredible innovation and devastating destruction. McDonald traces the blood-strewn lineage of this idea, from exploration and invention to genocide and ecocide, arguing it’s the root of both civilization’s success and its potential demise. If humanity is to survive, we must rethink our most basic political concepts. This landmark work offers a radical perspective and an urgent alternative, making it a must-read for anyone questioning the myth that things can only get better.
