Short History of Progress - Wright Ronald
Palaeolithic hunters who learnt how to kill two mammoths instead of one had made progress. Many of the great ruins that grace the deserts and jungles of the earth are monuments to progress traps, the headstones of civilisations which fell victim to their own success. Those who learnt how to kill 200 - by driving a whole herd over a cliff - had made too much.
"A Short History of Progress" argues that this modern predicament is as old as civilisation. The twentieth-century's runaway growth has placed a murderous burden on the planet. Only by understanding the patterns of progress and disaster that humanity has repeated since the Stone Age can we recognise the inherent dangers, and, with luck, and wisdom, shape its outcome.
