Why Empires Fall
Rome, America and the Future of the West
Book • 2024
Why Empires Fall offers a comparative analysis of the Roman Empire's decline and the potential challenges facing the modern West.
The authors, a historian and a political economist, draw parallels between the internal and external pressures that contributed to Rome's fall and those affecting Western societies today.
The book examines economic shifts, political instability, and the changing dynamics of power between core and periphery regions.
It challenges conventional narratives about Rome's decline and proposes a new understanding of imperial collapse.
Ultimately, the book serves as a cautionary tale and a call for critical reflection on the future of the West.
