Slouching Towards Utopia: An Economic History of the Twentieth Century
Description
Spanning the years from 1870 to 2010, this sweeping economic history explores how industrialization, technological innovation, globalization, war, and political upheaval reshaped the modern world. It traces the extraordinary surge in prosperity that transformed everyday life while examining why that progress remained uneven, unstable, and incomplete. With analytical clarity and a broad global perspective, the book considers the choices, institutions, and crises that propelled societies toward greater abundance—and the challenges that kept utopia just out of reach.
