Slouching Towards Utopia

"Slouching Towards Utopia" by economist Brad DeLong provides a comprehensive overview of the transformative century that markedly increased human wealth but also brought new challenges. Covering the rapid technological advancements since 1870, the book explores how these innovations reshaped the global economy and society, while also addressing the persistent issues of climate change, inequality, and social unrest. With a broad and ambitious scope, it examines whether this extraordinary period of progress truly moved us closer to a perfect ideal.
