In recent decades, this has cast doubt over the validity and reliability of many working assumptions about the nature and logic of progress in modern societies, at all levels of social structure and complexity. In The Challenge of Progress, editor Harry F. Dahms and a series of contributors explore how this doubt has been magnified, looking at how the institutions and constellations between business, labor and government have begun to weaken. The essays included in this volume examine the foundations, nature and contradictions of progress in the modern era. Anchored by - but not exclusively focused on - a debate of Amy Allen's recent book, The End of Progress: Decolonizing the Normative Foundations of Critical Theory (2016), the eleven essays identify, analyse and confront the challenges of progress, looking across social class, philosophy, history and culture in their analyses. For researchers and students across social theory, this is an unmissable volume confronting the present and future of our societies. Examining the choices of modern society, Dahms and contributors ask: what are the social costs of "progress"? 410 0$aCurrent perspectives in social theory ;$vv. 36.$x0278-1204 606 $aProgress 606 $aSocial change 606 $aGlobalization 606 $aSocial Science$xSociology$xGeneral$2bisacsh 606 $aSociology$2bicssc 615 0$aProgress. 615 0$aSocial change. 615 0$aGlobalization. 615 7$aSocial Science$xSociology$xGeneral. 615 7$aSociology. 676 $a303.44 702 $aDahms$b Harry F. 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910793816503321 996 $aThe challenge of progress$93765707 997 $aUNINA
