I have been an enthusiastic member of the Progress studies movement since just after its announcement in 2019. In fact, if you include the time since 2015 when I was conducting research for my From Poverty to Progress book series, I was a “member” long before it was even created!
Today’s post is to encourage you to subscribe to other Substack columns that focus on the topic of progress. Below is a partial list of the Substack columns that I know about. I am sure that there are others. I am trying to include people who are overtly associated with the Progress Studies movement.
If you are a supporter of Progress, please repost this article or create Notes that link to this list so we can get as many people as possible to subscribe!
At the top of the list are Substack columns that have dozens or hundreds of posts on the topic of progress. Towards the bottom are new columns or those that post on the topic less frequently. I also added a brief note on the general focus of the Substack columns.
