The Trouble with Wilderness, or, Getting Back to the Wrong Nature

Norgaard, Richard B.
Abstract
This chapter gives a brief history of the idea of progress and criticizes the resulting imbalance between technological and cultural progress. The author asserts that one has to sustain a culturally diverse future instead of the current vacuous, homogenous picture of progress, which is only possible by including “different trajectories for different cultures”.
