The article discusses changes to concepts of progress in critical theory. The authors discuss the theory that development of production leads to domination and suggest this theory promotes progress as the prevention of self-destruction, fear and hunger in human civilization. They comment that a critical theory concept that progress equates to liberation is not reflected through the development of production and discuss how models of capitalism developed by philosophers Max Horkheimer and Theodor Adorno focused on capitalism after World War II as a method of domination.
