The Widening Gyre: 4. The failure of politics; 5. The economic unraveling; 6. The specter of defeat; 7. The consequences of collapse -- Part Three. A Republic, If You Can Keep It: 8. The future of democracy; 9. Reinventing society; 10. Facing a hard future -- Afterword : a choice of tomorrows. By shifting the conversation from whether today's American empire should survive to whether it can survive, and arguing persuasively that the answer to the latter question is "no," Decline and Fall makes an invaluable contribution to the body of speculative post-industrial literature. This book is a must-read for anyone concerned about the state of the Union, or who believes that the time has come to reinvent the American Dream |
