J. Bradford DeLong examines the economic transformations of the long twentieth century and the extraordinary growth in material capability. He asks why technological progress and rising production did not deliver the stable, broadly satisfying social order that many expected.

Material progress does not settle questions of belonging, fairness, or stability. Slouching Towards Utopia gives those political and social outcomes a place beside the economic growth story.
