Description
Dark Age Ahead by Jane Jacobs explores the risks of cultural collapse in a rapidly changing world. Jacobs identifies five pillars of our culture that are in serious decay, including community and family, higher education, effective science practice, taxation and government, and self-regulation of learned professions. The erosion of these pillars is linked to societal problems such as environmental crisis, racism, and widening economic disparities. However, Jacobs also offers a hopeful vision for renewal, drawing on a broad range of examples from history and culture. This thought-provoking book invites readers to consider the potential consequences of our current trajectory and how we might work towards a more sustainable future. With its accessible and engaging approach, Dark Age Ahead is an important contribution to our understanding of the challenges facing society today.
