Palaeolithic hunters who learnt how to kill two mammoths instead of
one had made progress. Those who learnt how to kill 200 by driving
a whole herd over a cliff had made too much. 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. The twentieth-centurys runaway growth
has placed a murderous burden on the planet. A Short History of
Progress argues that this modern predicament is as old as
civilisation. 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.
