He claims that empires decline because of:
1. A changing source of energy
2. Radical religion
3. Debt
More specifically, he lists:
# A popular sense of national decay, economic, moral, or patriotic.
# An intensification of religion.
# Conflict between faith and science.
# Imperialism and military overreach: .
# The burden of excessive debt.
# The decline of industry and the rise of finance."
For example, Britain's industrial revolution was derived from coal. Today, however, there is hardly any coal in Britain. Everyone knows about how the Inquisition impacted Spain. What is scary, though, is how he connects all of this to what is happening in America today. It is an important book, and well worth a read.
