The idea of progress: Onwards and upwards | The Economist
“Why is the modern view of progress so impoverished?”
I’d hoped to write a reaction to this, one of the best things I’ve read this year, before 2010. I’m a technologist, so the idea of lasting, meaningful social progress is especially elusive—and personal—for me.
I didn’t write my reaction, but here. It’s the right thing to read as 2010 begins.

Comments are off, but I like email.
