Book Club Discussion
Progress: How One Idea Built Civilization and Now Threatens to Destroy It by Samuel Miller McDonald
Progress has built cities, flattened mountains, charted the globe, delved into the oceans and space, created wealth, opportunity, and remarkable innovation, and ushered in a new epoch unique in our planet’s 4.5-billion-year history.
But the modern story of progress is also a very dangerous fiction. It shapes our sense of what progress means, and justifies what we will do to achieve it—no matter the cost. The book calls attention to how we continue to subscribe to a set of ideas about dominion, growth, extraction, and expansion. Yet these same ideas that have fueled our success now threaten the existence of all species on a planet in crisis.
Geographer Samuel Miller McDonald offers a new perspective on the myths upon which the modern world is built, highlighting its destructive lineage and proposing an urgent alternative.
