‘An Age of Progress?’ is an advanced examination of major twentieth-century global developments regarding subjects as diverse as violence, capitalism, socialism and communism, imperialism, racism, nationalism, westernization, globalization, international finance, freedom and human rights, physical and mental environmental changes, culture, science, education, religion and social criticism. This momentous study also explores the ways in which the twentieth century made significant progress – and the ways in which it did not.

'[Moss’s] insights always are intriguing, his conclusions often unexpected, his opinions judicious. This is far more than a history of the twentieth century: it is a sobering guide to the lasting import of what has happened.' —H. J. de Blij, Professor of Geography at Michigan State University and author of ‘Why Geography Matters’
