More likely, the event that’s judged most transformative will be some scientific or technological advance that only a handful of people know about right now — because that’s how things almost always go. The ups and downs of the business cycle that I usually write about are important. But over the sweep of history, it’s been the advance of science and technology that has changed our lives the most, and mostly for the better. That’s what I’m thankful for this Thanksgiving. Not to mention Covid vaccines, without which Grandmother wouldn’t let us through the front door.
