Isi artikel

Th e millennium a.d . 1000–2000 brought mind-boggling changes to the life of the average person. Th e French might insist that the more the human condition changes, the more it remains the same, but from the point of view of the average person, the change from farming with a handheld plow – a common activity in what was not yet Europe in a.d . 1000 – to trading stocks on the Internet is not superfi cial. Historical change is driven by the production of many diff erent kinds of novelty. People change what they believe; improve their mastery over material processes; try diff erent forms of economic, political and social organization; and struggle to formulate moral dictums by which they can live more happily. Considered at the millennial scale, the production of novelty is larger than life and mightier than the individual. The river of conceptual, technological and organizational inventions sweeps people along, sometimes to the tune of ineff ectual protests about the loss of this or that value supposedly inherent in tradition.
