Explore the surprising patterns of economic and technological progress throughout history with “How Progress Ends” by Carl Benedikt Frey. This compelling book challenges the myth of inevitable advancement, revealing how 1,000 years of global history demonstrate that rapid innovation is often followed by stagnation or collapse. Frey draws parallels from Song China to modern AI, explaining why even leading nations falter and planned economies crumble. Discover the critical tension between decentralization for innovation and bureaucracy for scaling, and learn why adapting institutions are key to long-term prosperity. An essential read for understanding the challenges facing the US, Europe, and China today.
