It provides a powerful synthesis of the historical forces that have brought American society to the dangerous ledge upon which it now teeters, and shows why we must address wealth inequality in order to preserve democracy and our nation's political order. Peter Turchin's End Times is the culmination of his work to understand what causes political communities to cohere and fall apart. He argues that when the equilibrium between ruling elites and the majority tips too far in favor of elites, political instability is inevitable. His models show that when this state has been reached, societies become locked in a death spiral that is hard to exit. The choice is up to us, but the hour grows late.
