Plagues and the Paradox of Progress

Why the World Is Getting Healthier in Worrisome Ways (The MIT Press)

Thomas J. Bollyky

This book explores the decline of plagues and infectious diseases globally, and how it has impacted the evolution of modern states, cities, and national economies. While it's good news that fewer people are dying from infectious diseases, the author examines the unintended consequences and inequalities that have emerged. This book seamlessly weaves together a historical narrative with contemporary case studies to highlight the paradox in our fight against infectious diseases. It ultimately raises the question of what we should do next as we move forward with this progress.
