Show Notes

Dr. Eli Cook, lecturer in American history at the University of Haifa, discusses his new book, "The Pricing of Progress: Economic Indicators and the Capitalization of of American Life," a critical history of the emergence and establishment of economic metrics as the gold standard (no pun intended) of progress.

This season of the Tel Aviv Review is made possible by The Van Leer Jerusalem Institute, which promotes humanistic, democratic, and liberal values in the social discourse in Israel.
