University of California-Berkeley economic historian J. Bradford DeLong’s Slouching Toward Utopia tells the story of the breathtaking economic growth the world experienced between 1870 and 2010. While he sets his “grand narrative” against the twentieth century’s not-so-brilliant political (and military) history, it is the “forced marriage” of Friedrich Hayek’s free markets and Karl Polanyi’s social democracy that, for Delong, accounted for the progress of this century.
