On Ethics, Value and Progress
A list for people who create, imagine and fight for a better way
A living list for people who want to find out more about ethics, value, progress and the surrounding theory and praxis. Some of these are lighter than others, some are more explicitly about ethics, design and value than others, but all are important for how we approach, do and think about our work as designers and decision makers.
