Prosperous nations also fall apart. Is the fall of empires really inevitable? That's the view offered by Todd G. Buchholz, a renowned economist, hedge fund manager, and presidential adviser, in this insightful and contemporary book. The Price of Prosperity is both an economic history and an author's statement, revealing the economic, political, and cultural fissures that wealthy nations face, and explaining why, and suggesting that these vulnerabilities should be turned into sources of strength and the basis for national rejuvenation. To help readers understand how powerful nations are divided, Buchholz identifies five powerful but paradoxical forces of division that begin to undermine a country's harmony and stability after it achieves economic success. These include: declining fertility rates, globalized trade, rising debt burdens, disappearing work ethics and missing patriotism. Is the decline of empire inevitable? The answer is no. Can the United States and Europe rebuild the spirit of society? The answer is a resounding yes. "The Price of Prosperity" tells readers some inspiring stories of past leaders, including Turkey's founding father Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, Japan's Meiji Restoration leaders represented by Ryoma Sakamoto, and former Israeli Prime Minister "Iron Lady" Golda Meir, who all successfully turned around the country's chaotic situation at the time. It is not too late for us to overcome the current challenges and unite once again to defend the harmony and stability of the country and protect our future.

Whether they are heroes who have emerged from the vicissitudes of life, or dynasties that have risen and fallen in thrilling turns, they have all been buried in the sand of history, leaving only lingering sounds that sing slowly in the faltering years. Among them is such a legendary hero. He made his fortune in Huaiyang commoners, created a new dynasty in the cracks of history, and used his politician's strategy and style to push this dynasty to its peak era. This dynasty was the Hongwu Dynasty.

The Three Kingdoms era was a time of great changes and great talents emerged in large numbers. This era actually began with the Yellow Turban Uprising at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. After that, various warlords divided states and counties and supported their own troops. Cao Cao threatened the emperor to disobey his subjects, Sun Quan separatized Jiangdong, and Liu Bei took control of Yizhou. After the Battle of Chibi, a three-legged situation was formed. In this era, talents in all fields can be described as a blowout. In the troubled times, not only politicians and military strategists such as Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Sun Quan, Zhou Yu, and Zhuge Liang emerged, but also outstanding talents such as Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, Le Jin, Jiang Wei, and Deng Ai emerged; in science and technology, there were Ma Jun, Liu Wei, Hua Tuo, and Zhang Zhongjing; in literature and art, there were San Cao, the Seven Sons of Jian'an, etc. Times create heroes, and heroes create times. Talents from all walks of life met, battled wits and courage, and jointly wrote the magnificent Three Kingdoms era in Chinese history.

Not long after Zhu Yuanzhang became emperor, he overturned the table of traditional politics. Through a series of combined punches, he rebuilt the imperial system and changed the course of China. Zhu Di usurped the throne from his nephew and moved the capital to the border city of Beijing. His institutional design established the personality and characteristics of the entire Ming Dynasty. The Zhu Ming Dynasty was a dynasty with the surname Zhu through and through: the emperors were arbitrary and capricious; ministers were reduced to domestic slaves; literary prisons and eunuchs tyrannizing power emerged in endlessly; Jin Yiwei and the East-West Factory were all-pervasive. On the edge of imperial power, Jiangnan was prosperous and the people were charming. The prosperous towns are economically active and have given birth to diverse and novel market cultures. From temples to rivers and lakes, the Ming Dynasty is wonderful.

The entire Spring and Autumn Period was a chaotic and turbulent era in Chinese history. The Zhou Dynasty moved eastward, and Wang Gang released the new crown prince. Ritual and music conquests came from the princes. Thirty-six kings were killed and fifty-two were destroyed. The five hegemons succeeded, respected the king and fought against the barbarians; the heroes stood side by side and raised their troops to fight fiercely. However, it was during this era that China's cultural and ideological development reached a new peak, with hundreds of flowers blooming, hundreds of schools of thought contending, talents springing up, and heroes emerging in large numbers. This is a contradictory era, and it is this contradiction that creates the glory of this era.

As the chief military officer, prime minister of the cabinet, and a member of the royal family, Prince Yikuang of Qing was a key figure in the changes in Guangxuan's political situation. Since the 29th year of Guangxu (1903), almost all the domestic and foreign affairs of the Qing Dynasty were under his control. Because of his special status and influence in China's political arena in the 20th century, Yikuang's name is known to almost all Western countries. However, the research on Yikuang is still very weak so far. There are only sporadic discussions in the academic circle and lack of systematic results. The main reason is that Yi Kuang himself has no collected works and diaries handed down to the public, and the information is very scarce. Therefore, it is very difficult to study this character in depth.
