Compare The Future and Its Enemies by Virginia Postrel, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

Progress is the result of playfulness. It is not born out of a master plan but out of experimentation, creativity, adventurousness and optimism – the courage to try something new. Redefining political and cultural categories, The Future and Its Enemies argues that today's struggles over trade, biotechnology, immigration, education and the environment are not clashes between left and right, but between dynamism and stasis – the desire for change versus the fear of change. Virginia Postrel passionately contends that by escaping the traps of nostalgia, stagnant assumptions and bureaucratic rules, individuals can achieve true progress in society and technology. | The Future and Its Enemies by Virginia Postrel, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
