Hi all,
For the record, I read the book, very carefully. But let me reiterate,data
is never neutral, and we cannot understand such a work without referring to
its ideological context. What he left out is more telling that what he says
(two of the links I sent had a lot of “data” based arguments, such as the
increase in civilian causalities in wars, black incarcaration rates in the
US, no serious discussion of the environmental catastrophe etc.) And I am
not against the idea of progress, and many folks who know me criticise me
for being a latent post-positivist or modernist. But his black and white
progress conception is very hard to buy, at least for me.
Best,
Ali
