  • Value [1] Evidence
    • While we think that policies and institutions compatible with freedom and openness are important factors in promoting human progress, we let the evidence speak for itself. We hope that the website leads to a greater appreciation of the improving state of the world and stimulates an intelligent debate on the drivers of human progress.

  • Value [2] Progress
    • The Historical Thesaurus of the Oxford English Dictionary defines progress as "advancement to a further or higher stage, or to further or higher stages successively; growth; development, usually to a better state or condition; improvement ... applied especially to manifestations of social and economic change or reform."
