On this podcast, we discuss the book Immoderate Greatness by William Ophuls.
Immoderate Greatness explains how a civilization’s sheer magnitude conspires against it to cause downfall. Cultures are hard-wired for self-destruction. They travel an arc from initial success to terminal decay and ultimate collapse due to intrinsic, inescapable biophysical limits combined with an inevitable trend toward moral decay and practical failure.
