Mitos progres : Por qué tantas ideas del progresismo actual se aceptan como verdades sagradas y adónde nos están llevando

Progressives present themselves as champions of reason, science, and social justice. But what happens when their arguments fail to withstand even the slightest scrutiny? In *Progressive Myths*, philosopher Michael Huemer rigorously dismantles—using data—some of the most influential and oft-repeated ideas of modern progressivism: that the gender pay gap is caused by sexism; that police shootings are systematically racist; that gender is merely a social construct; or that climate change will lead to our extinction. With a clear and bold style, Huemer demonstrates that many of these claims are neither innocent nor inconsequential: they are ideological myths that distort public debate, polarize society, and justify policies that are ineffective—or downright harmful. Worse still, they are wielded as moral weapons to silence dissent and shield a dogmatic worldview. This book does not seek to impose a new ideology, but rather to restore something more necessary than ever: respect for facts, critical thinking, and the freedom to dissent.
