Dark Age in America by John Michael Greer

In developed countries people satisfaction with democracy has decreased dramatically. Since 19 95, satisfaction has dropped from 75 % of people being satisfied down to less than half. The ruling class often believe they have things firmly in control and that they can never be motivated to really make those necessary changes. They also believe that they have the status quo so firmly in their grasp that people will never require anything else. Right now, we live in a system where wealth disparity is growing crazy fast.
