Description
Peter Turchin's End Times offers a groundbreaking explanation for America's civil strife and its possible endgames. By integrating approaches from history and other fields, Turchin sheds light on the causes of political communities' cohesion and disintegration, as seen in the current turmoil in the United States. Turchin's work builds on his pioneering research in cliodynamics, a new interdisciplinary science of history. He draws on his models and empirical justification to provide a thought-provoking analysis of the American story, placing it within broad historical context. The lessons of world history, Turchin argues, are clear: when the equilibrium between ruling elites and the majority tips too far in favor of elites, political instability is all but inevitable. The book distills Turchin's framework and findings into an accessible and thought-provoking read, highlighting the relevance of his work to the current state of American politics.
