In 'How Progress Ends', Carl Benedikt Frey challenges the conventional belief that economic and technological progress is inevitable. For most of human history, stagnation was the norm, and even today progress and prosperity in the world's largest, most advanced economies - the United States and China - have fallen short of expectations. To appreciate why we cannot depend on any AI-fuelled great leap forward, Frey offers a fascinating journey across the globe, spanning the past 1000 years, to explain why some societies flourish and others fail in the wake of rapid technological change.
