I wrote a 4k word feature on Progress Studies for BBC Future that just went up. (Tweet here). I explore:

The stagnation hypothesis
the origins of progress studies
what PS believes
frontier vs. catch-up growth, and how PS’s focus on the former reveals its biases
progress and existential risk
the future of the community

Curious for your (genuine) thoughts and critiques.

You may also find this timeline I put together useful.
