Progress: A History of Humanity’s Worst Idea by Samuel Miller McDonald is a provocative and sharply argued exploration of one of the most influential ideas in modern life. With wit and skepticism, the book questions the assumption that progress always means improvement, inviting readers to look more closely at the costs hidden behind technological, social, and cultural change.
Thought-provoking and accessible, this title is ideal for readers who enjoy big ideas, historical perspective, and challenging commentary on the world we live in. Progress encourages you to rethink familiar narratives and consider whether humanity’s pursuit of progress has always led us forward.
