Why Empires Fell: Rome, America, and the Future of the West (latitudes and Longitudes Series)

About This Novel

This book is a humanistic thought work that combines international politics with historical narrative. In the past three centuries, the Western world has risen and dominated the earth. It has led the countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America in science and technology, economy, and culture, and has encouraged other parts of the world to follow their lifestyles and ideas. However, at the turn of the millennium, faced with economic stagnation and internal political divisions, the Western world found itself in decline, much like the Roman Empire. In this book, political economist John Rapley and historian Peter Heather use the history of the Roman Empire to rethink and interpret the crisis state of the contemporary West. From a novel perspective, they use unique case analysis to explore the incredible similarities and differences between Rome and the United States, and deconstruct how Western civilization meets challenges and gains new life. At a time when the world situation is changing rapidly, this book has great reference value for ordinary people to understand history and the current situation.
