The Fall of the West: Decadence

Nation First looks into civilisational collapse and concludes we are in it right now.

Dear friend,

Arab scholar Ibn Khaldun is probably not a name known among many in the West however he is one of the most interesting political theorists, largely owing to the fact that he resided at a time when his own civilisation was in decline.

Not blind to what was happening around him, he was first to theorise the cyclical nature of societies: what made them rise, stagnate, and eventually fall.

What has this got to do with the world today?
