Progress and the Invisible Hand

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
What is "progress"? In Richard Bronk's brilliant analytical study, he separates the material progress of a nation from the more problematic progress in human happiness and welfare. Questioning many of the basic assumptions behind our headlong pursuit of progress, Bronk's disquieting conclusion is that if we continue to destroy the necessary balance between social cooperation and individual pursuit of self-interest, that humanity will be left at the mercy of the market ‹ condemned to be its slave rather than its master. Wide-ranging, thought-provoking, and of absorbing interest not only to economists and philosophers, but also to anyone who is worried about the direction in which society is moving.

About the Author
Born in New York and educated at Oxford, Richard Bronk previously worked as a financial analyst.
