Interesting article.

I have been a member of the Progress Studies for a number of years and have written a number of books on the subject, but I chose not to go to the conference. Maybe I will next year. I agree that the vast majority of our discussions in the media about current events and politics obscures more important trends that are going on.

You and your readers might be interested in reading my article about what I call “the Progress-based perspective:”

Zachary, a wise and inspiring column. I hope you don’t mind if I quote from it at the 50th year anniversary celebration of Heyday Books next Sunday. After all, our focus should be on the next 50 years and your essay serves us well in charting that course.
