More about the book
Challenging the modern belief in linear progress, the book argues that contemporary values such as liberalism and materialism are not unique but rather historical patterns observed in past civilizations. It draws on insights from ancient cultures, including Greece, Rome, and Egypt, to illustrate that the traits celebrated as advancements today have historically signified the decline of societies. By examining these recurring themes, the author invites readers to reconsider the notion of progress and its implications for contemporary civilization.
