The way I understand history is that people respond to incentives to invent new things ("progress") and that these new inventions take on a life of their own and lead to unanticipated feedback loops (cybernetics). Karl Polanyi wrote "The Great Transformation," which explains the evolution of the free market and how it transformed the world through unexpected developments based on its unintended consequences for mankind. It's brilliant but rather inaccessible to Gr. 12s, so I'm working on a short summary with diagrams and videos. CBC radio did a big special with his daughter, who's a prof in Quebec, a few years ago and I've got the transcript.
