End times : elites, counter-elites, and the path of political disintegration (engelsk)


Description


What leads to political turbulence and social breakdown? How do elites maintain their dominant position? And why do ruling classes sometimes suddenly lose their grip on power? Assembling vast databases mined from 10,000 years of human activity, and then developing new models, Turchin has transformed the way we learn from the past and light the way to a brighter future.
