Sinopse

"Progress vs Regress" offers a thought-provoking examination of how societies advance and decline, challenging the common belief that human development follows a straightforward upward path. Through a comprehensive analysis spanning archaeology, economics, and social psychology, the book reveals how progress and regression are intricately interconnected, often occurring simultaneously across different aspects of society.

 
This nuanced approach demonstrates how technological advancements might coincide with deteriorating social bonds or environmental conditions, painting a more complex picture of societal development. The book's three-part structure first establishes a theoretical framework for understanding the cyclical nature of progress, then explores specific cases across technological, social, and cultural domains, and finally presents practical models for evaluating change processes.

 
Drawing from diverse historical examples, from ancient empires to contemporary societies, the author illustrates how advancements in one area frequently correlate with decline in others. The analysis is particularly relevant in our current era of rapid technological transformation, offering valuable insights for policy makers, academics, and informed citizens.

 
What sets this work apart is its interdisciplinary approach and balanced perspective, combining quantitative social indicators with qualitative historical analysis to create a comprehensive understanding of societal change. Rather than advocating for either a purely optimistic or pessimistic view, the book provides practical frameworks for analyzing and managing change processes, helping readers navigate the complex interplay between progress and regress in their own contexts. The author's careful examination of historical patterns and contemporary data offers readers tools to better understand and respond to ongoing social transformations.

    What is it that fascinates so many people about Ronnie Biggs and makes him a household name sixty years on from the crime that made his name?

    "Using stories and examples, David Moinina Sengeh presents seven principles for radical inclusion that are AS ACTIONABLE AS THEY ARE POWERFUL." ―Brené BrownFrom an inspiring young global leader—"A MASTER CLASS IN INNOVATION" (Kwame Alexander) for anyone who wants to make the world a better place.The first title from Melinda French Gates’s Moment of Lift BooksAs the newly appointed minister of education in Sierra Leone, David Moinina Sengeh assumed that the administration he served—not to mention his family and friends—shared his conviction that all girls belong in the classroom. He was shocked to learn that many of those closest to him, including a member of his own family, were against lifting a long-standing policy banning pregnant girls from school.Radical Inclusion is the dramatic narrative of Sengeh’s drive to guarantee pregnant girls’ right to an education. His story functions as a parable that can help us all advocate for change by reimagining the systems that perpetuate exclusion.The specifics of his efforts in Sierra Leone are captivating, and the lessons Sengeh shares are universal. In addition to the candid account of his quest for reform, he offers stories and perspective from other parts of his life, drawing on his experiences encountering racial profiling as a Harvard student, developing cutting-edge prosthetic limbs at MIT, and working to combat algorithmic bias as a data scientist.Sengeh offers listners a road map for pursuing radical inclusion in their own lives and work—from identifying exclusions, to building coalitions and adapting to a new normal. His audiobook is essential reading for modern leaders or anyone who hopes to help unleash the power of a world that is truly, radically inclusive.A Macmillan Audio production from Flatiron Books.

    Don’t Believe Anything, But Challenge and Explore Everything is not just a book — it is a mental awakening. 
    In this bold, thought-provoking work, Ekene Banye challenges listeners to question the assumptions, narratives, and half-truths that shape how Africa is understood — both by the world and by Africans themselves. Moving beyond emotional rhetoric and inherited beliefs, this audiobook invites you into a deeper exploration of history, economics, governance, education, culture, and the psychology of progress. 
    With clarity, courage, and intellectual honesty, Banye dismantles comfortable myths about colonialism, victimhood, equality, aid, resources, markets, language, and development. He replaces them not with ideology, but with a powerful call for critical thinking, curiosity, responsibility, and evidence-based reasoning. 
    This audiobook is a challenge: 
    To think independently. 
    To separate emotion from analysis. 
    To reject passive belief. 
    To cultivate intellectual discipline. 
    To build rather than blame. 
    Blending historical insight, economic reasoning, and philosophical reflection, Don’t Believe Anything speaks to young Africans, diaspora communities, leaders, students, entrepreneurs, and anyone interested in Africa’s future. 
    Because Africa’s greatest revolution will not be political. 
    It will be intellectual.
