English term or phrase: tradeoff
"Nor were there yet all those tiresome tradeoffs to taint the benefits of progress". Aparece en un libro sobre los años cincuenta.

Spanish translation:alternativas / opciones
Explanation:
creo que en este preciso contexto "alternativa" queda bien...la idea es probablemente que en aquellos años el progreso era más apreciado y simple que ahora cuando para elegir un solo producto hay que buscar muchas opciones.....también, segun contexto puede referirse a los aguafiestas que siempre critican el progreso con argumentos ideologicos.....
