Description

This 61 slide PowerPoint discusses the "Decay Phase" of civilizations alleged by Carroll Quigley among others with data from the early Third Millennium and the Roman period. There are many, and we are not the only people who have wondered if our current civilization is "decaying" in various ways, moral, economic and practical. It is difficult to summarize pictures and bullet points, but the main conclusions are that there are many parallels with Ancient Rome and many reasons for current concern. Corruptions of governance and declining loyalty of people to the ancient virtues are obvious. But nothing is inevitable in the trajectory of civilizations.
