Book •
Gunnar Heinsohn's "Sons and World Power" explores the correlation between a surplus of young men in a society and its propensity for expansionism and conquest.
Heinsohn argues that societies with a high proportion of unmarried men, unable to find economic opportunities or wives, are more likely to engage in aggressive behavior and territorial expansion.
The book examines historical examples to support this theory, highlighting the role of demographic factors in shaping global power dynamics.
Heinsohn's work challenges traditional explanations of historical events, emphasizing the often-overlooked influence of population imbalances.
The book has sparked considerable debate among historians and social scientists, prompting further research into the complex interplay between demographics, social structures, and international relations.
