Krátky popis
What can the fall of Rome teach us about the decline of the West
today? A historian and a political economist, both experts in their
field, investigateOver the last three centuries, the West rose to
dominate the planet. Then, suddenly, around the turn of the
millennium, history reversed. Faced with economic stagnation and
internal political division, the West has found itself in rapid
decline.This is not the first time the global order has witnessed
such a dramatic rise and fall. The Roman Empire followed a similar
arc from dizzying power to disintegration - a fact that is more
than a strange historical coincidence. In Why Empires Fall,
historian Peter Heather and political economist John Rapley use
this Roman past to think anew about the contemporary West, its
state of crisis, and what paths we could take out of it.In this
exceptional, transformative intervention, Heather and Rapley
explore the uncanny parallels - and productive differences -
between the two cases, moving beyond the familiar tropes of
invading barbarians and civilizational decay to learn new lessons
from ancient history. From 399 to 1999, the life cycles of empires,
they argue, sow the seeds of their inevitable destruction. The era
of western global domination has reached its end - so what comes
next?
