Humanity achieved extraordinary progress over the past century—and the new McKinsey Global Institute book A Century of Plenty: A story of progress for generations to come explains how it happened and how we can do it again. A “progress machine” of eight parts—workers, skills, investment, invention, energy, cities, trade, and markets—powered that rise. Though uneven and now strained, it can be rebuilt. Join authors Chris Bradley, Nick Leung, and Sven Smit for a fact-based, optimistic look at how to create the next century of shared prosperity. |
