Bauen quotes from What is Called Thinking? on The Eternal Return of the Same and concludes that:

Modern technology, modern economics, and modern politics sure seem cyclical. There seem to be technological possibilities of newness, but economics and politics seem to be going nowhere and seem to shut down technological possibilities.

Technology can measure its progress on its own terms, as can the hard sciences. Economics and politics as social sciences have a harder time claiming to progress, and perhaps, like philosophy, can only claim progress with ontological change.  ¶ 9:04 PM
