The Collapse of Civilisation 101 By Peter West

     Civilisations collapse when the elites become self-destructive in their greed and evil, and bingo, that is what we have today, in spades. This is outlined in this book, which I have not read, but luckily, someone else has:

Anne Glyn-jones, Holding Up a Mirror: How Civilizations Decline, (Imprint Academic, Thorverton, 1996).

Summary by Paul Joseph Watson,
“Almost every factor that precedes the collapse of great civilizations has been met by the west.”
