Interlude: Progress and Growth

Hanging over everything that has come before in this essay are the twin concepts of progress and growth. The two terms are used almost interchangeably: when one speaks of progress one assumes growth, and growth is the signal of progress, particularly in the norms of economic measure. The term growth suggests a certain naturalness (flowers grow, children grow), which then somehow makes “natural” the economic logic linking progress to growth. Of course, the economists forget to mention that biological growth is just one part of a cycle: children stop growing, plants die at the end of summer.
