Abstract

This paper reflects on the changing landscape of research related to progress studies. It begins by noting that past research in the field is fragmented across different disciplines and that the term itself was not used to broadly describe this field of study until recently.

Lastly, it provides an annotated reading list of texts related to economic history, the industrial revolution, cultural evolution, economic growth, and more, divided into тематические категории – AI-generated abstract.
