by J. Alexander

Rethinking progress :movements, forces, and ideas at the end of the 20th century Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Rethinking Progress provides a challenging reevaluation of one of the crucial ideas of Western civilization--the notion of progress. Progress often seems to have become self-defeating, producing ecological deserts, overpopulated cities, exhausted resources, decaying cultures, and widespread feelings of alienation. The contributors, from all over the world, present their diversified perspectives on the fate of progress.
