NEW: analysis of millions of books published over the centuries suggests western society is shifting away from a culture of progress, and towards one of caution, worry and risk-aversion.
I think this is one of the most important challenges facing us today.

I'm not sure economists are familiar with this APSR paper. The authors test whether the experimenter demand effects (EDEs) are large by blankly telling participants the hypothesis they aim to test. They don't find evidence for EDEs.
