Growth through innovation depends on a direct link between culture and technology, through attitudes toward nature and the beliefs regarding relations between humans and their physical environment ... A critical cultural belief that drives economic growth and complements the belief in the virtuousness of technology is a belief in economic progress. Such a belief is positive, normative, and prescriptive.
