Overview

An instantĀ New York Times and Wall Street JournalĀ bestseller from one of the worldā€™s leading economists: this "magisterial history" offers a grand narrative of the century that made us richer than ever, but left us unsatisfied (Paul Krugman)

Before 1870, humanity lived in dire poverty, with a slow crawl ofĀ inventionĀ offset by a growing population. Then came a great shift: invention sprinted forward, doubling our technological capabilities each generation and utterly transforming the economy again and again. Our ancestors would have presumed we would haveĀ usedĀ such powers to build utopia. But it was not so. WhenĀ 1870ā€“2010Ā ended, the world instead saw global warming; economic depression, uncertainty, and inequality; and broad rejection of the status quo.Ā 
Ā 
EconomistĀ Brad DeLongā€™s Slouching Towards UtopiaĀ tells the story ofĀ howĀ this unprecedentedĀ explosionĀ of material wealthĀ occurred,Ā how it transformed the globe,Ā andĀ whyĀ itĀ failed toĀ deliver us toĀ utopia.Ā OfĀ remarkable breadth and ambition,Ā itĀ revealsĀ theĀ lastĀ century to have been lessĀ a march of progressĀ thanĀ a slouchĀ in the right direction.
