Reseña del libro "The Fate of Empires: Being an Inquiry Into the Stability of Civilisation (en Inglés)"

Join Arthur Hubbard on an immersive journey into the history of civilization. Written over a century ago, this book is still just as relevant today. Indeed, it was featured in a 2012 documentary titled "Four Horsemen" about civilization and economics.The book is relatively short and divided into two main parts. The first lays ground to the elements of the rise of civilization. It raises questions like the role of ethnic diversity in the rise or fall of society. Is there a perfect religion that would lead to the ultimate empire? Are instinct and reason alone enough for the survival of the individual and the society, or is there something else at play? And can there be an immortal civilization, or is humanity in an infinite loop of development and recession?The second part is a demonstration of the facts laid in the first one, chiefly through the examples of China and Rome. Why the Roman Empire collapsed, and how apparently bizarre Chinese traditions contributed to the thriving of their civilization. Hubbard builds up an element of suspense through interesting arguments and counter-arguments, giving the reader space to reflect for themselves before revealing his conclusion in the final chapter."The giant forms of empires on their wayto ruin: one by one, They tower... and they are gone."
