Slouching Towards Utopia tells the story of the major economic and technological shifts of the 20th century. In vivid and compelling detail, DeLong charts the unprecedented explosion of material wealth after 1870 which transformed living standards around the world, freeing humanity from centuries of poverty, but paradoxically has left us now with unprecedented inequality, global warming, and widespread dissatisfaction with the status quo. Longlisted for the Financial Times Business Book of the Year 2022.
