Is Progress a real and desirable notion underwriting the liberal tradition, or is it mere driving myth?

Christopher Lasch traces the idea and it's lineage from Christian Millenarianism to its secularization and finally through to its current form, the idea of continual and limitless improvement in quality of life via technology and democratization, which is reinforced by a consumer culture and the hostility to memory as nostalgia and tradition (prejudice, particularism, nationalism, etc) as illiberal.

I don't know how anyone hasn't suggested pic related yet. Also good is Alasdair MacIntyre's After Virtue.
